The worst symptom is shaking or internal vibrations especially when I try to sleep. I never have peace when I lie down, which is depressing to say the least.
Anyway, if you search under my username, you'll see a My Story thread or some such thing where I go into detail about my case. It spread within months and became body wide, and I gave up all alcohol, so I wouldn't know. 95% of my drinking was beer though, and beer is the worst because of the grain, gluten to be precise, and so the impact it has on your intestinal lining and gut microbiome.
@David - Sorry to hear about your symptoms, can i ask how quickly did they spread for you from you hands/ feet to the rest of your body? Did you also notice symptoms were stronger after a night drinking? and did it make any difference if you drank things other than beer?
thanks again!

The left over symptoms after drinking come from the aldehydes that are not being removed quickly enough from your body.
And yes the type of alcohol matters. There are different congeners in various alcohol types. The popularity of highly filtered vodkas reflects this. The filtering and purifying of vodkas today remove the congeners which are produced by the fermentation process.

We have a long thread here about alcohol and the body damage it causes, and is also a support thread to stop drinking entirely.

Scattered thru that thread are new studies about the toxicity of alcohol on tissues. My internet is slow tonight so I can't isolate those links for you at this time.
