85 Causes of Delirium
Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol-induced delirium, also known as substance intoxication delirium, is one of the most common forms. It often develops during intoxication from some psychoactive substances found in wine, beer, and other alcoholic drinks. Different from the transient disturbances in focus and attention that everyone often experiences when tired, symptoms of delirium tend to get worse at night and last much longer, sometimes for many weeks or months. The best way to minimize the risk is to limit or quit drinking. [8]
