Yes, those are signs. My husband is a recovering alcoholic, he had: Shakes Cold Sweats Vomiting/ Dry Heaving Moody/ Angry He was just diagnosed with Stage 4 cirrhosis. Please get some help and stop drinking before you ruin your liver and your life. Find a local AA meeting.

The shakes are a definite sign.

Yes, and you should be shaking and quaking. Drink some water to rehydrate, and eat some food or protein. Eggs can help.

It literally takes years (10+ ) of heavy drinking to become addicted and suffer from physical withdraw. Other than that you withdraw every day, that's what a hangover is. Hangovers are actually your body withdrawing from alcohol.

Yes they can be. You may also experience itching mostly in your legs, you'll feel almost like you have the flu , you should definitely quit drinking like you have been... these symptoms wont last forever.

Yeah that sounds like alcohol withdrawal. I would suggest going to see your GP as they can help you in ways of controlling these symptoms and offer support.
