Delirium tremens is a very... intense... form of alcohol (or Everything) withdrawal. Occuring 2 to 3 days after the last drink, this state has all the classic withdrawal symptoms with a 'profoundly altered sensorium' thrown in.

In other words, you've got a massive hangover, intense anxiety, you're hyperventilating, your blood pressure and heart rate are through the roof, and you are in a total and complete hallucinatory world, with nothing real coming in.
