Why would it be dangerous for him to immediately give up the booze?

Alcoholics that go cold turkey without a proper detox process are susceptible to heart attacks, strokes and seizures. I have a friend who used to drink about a litre of whiskey a day and his doctor said if he went cold turkey without going through detox he would probably drop dead.

I didn’t know this. But I assume this is for those that drink ALOT. Right? I mean if we are talking about someone that has a couple of drinks a day and not a whole litre, and goes cold turkey, is he susceptible to heart attacks, strokes and seizures?
