Hi, It seems like you are developing addiction to alcohol. It will cause lot of physiological changes in the body. Shaking of hands and tiredness are the withdrawal symptoms. You can quit alcohol use before it causes further damage. Counselling and medicines help to come out of it. Kindly consult a psychiatrist.
