    All of the following are symptom of alcohol withdrawal except

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Visual hallucinations can occur during alcohol withdrawal, especially in more severe cases such as delirium tremens (DTs). Hallucinations are part of the neuropsychiatric symptoms seen in alcohol withdrawal. B. Tremors are one of the most common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Hand tremors are typically observed and can range from mild to severe. C. Paroxysmal sweating (or excessive sweating) is also a common symptom of alcohol withdrawal. It occurs due to autonomic instability in the body during withdrawal, and can be quite pronounced. D. Pupil dilation is not typically a symptom of alcohol withdrawal. In fact, alcohol withdrawal more commonly causes pupil constriction in mild to moderate withdrawal, and pupillary changes are generally less pronounced than other symptoms like tremors, sweating, or anxiety.
