Your focus when detoxing (alcohol) should be : hydrate with water and electrolytes. get food in your system. orange juice will help quickly for low blood sugar. magnesium has always helped me with anxiety (give it 15 minutes min.) immodium ad will put a good stop to the bathroom issues, read the directions carefully. It will ultimately help you rehydrate more quickly. Take probiotics to reestablish gut-health. Anecdotal but benadryl is supposed to be good for vertigo, should your symptoms get that bad. If you have a hard time walking down the stairs use both arms and take one step at a time, focus on your breathing. Stimulating the vagus nerve (under jaw, on neck) lightly will help send oxygen to the brain and to the heart and help to ease anxiety. Listen to meditation/affirmations and practice deep breathing to help ease yourself to sleep if you are dealing with insomnia. set yourself a routine that you do daily when you are sober, so that should you relapse the day you feel better enough to eat and sleep and etc you can hop right back into your routine.
i could go on. Im not a doctor obviously, but i have gone thru detoxing way more times than i care to count, and these are the things that have helped me.
That would be my advice today.

For something more consise:
Don’t destroy your good health over a liquid.
If you relapse and have the dreaded hangover from hell, and you see thru it to the other side alive, take it as a blessing, take it as a second chance at life. You never have to be sick like that ever again, how great is that!
