agree  Willemina Hagenauw: Inderdaad, Van Dale vertaalt het met delirium tremens of dronkemanswaanzin!

  -> Dank je wel, Willemina. Ja, dat is de 'populaire' term die in deze context wellicht goed past.
neutral  Jan Willem van Dormolen (X): Dit heb ik nog nooit ergens gezien of gehoord.

  -> Mijn optie was eigenlijk meer als uitleg bedoeld. "Alcoholonthoudingsdelier" is één van de mogelijke medische termen voor het complex van symptomen. Je kunt de term zien als één van de moderniseringen (vaak vernederlandsing) van medische terminologie.
