Delirium tremens can last up to how many days?

• A. 1-2 days
• B. 3-4 days
• C. 5-7 days
• D. 2-3 days

Answer: (B)

Delirium tremens typically follows alcohol withdrawal with symptoms that begin about 48–72 hours after the last drink, reach their peak around day 3, and then subside over the next day or two. Because the most common course ends around 3–4 days, that option best matches the usual maximum duration seen in standard clinical references and exams. While longer courses can occur in rare cases, the 3–4 day window is the best-supported answer in typical practice materials.
