the shakes 

Uncontrollable shakes caused by alcohol withdrawal. Getting drunk multiple times a day, every day, for many years is necessary to experience this. They start about 24 hours after your last drink, most notably in the hands and feet, and last for about 3 days unless you have a drink.
I ran out of money Bob, I haven't had a drink all day, I feel the shakes coming!

The Shakes 

After smoking a lot of weed and you get a bad high, your body spasms or shakes uncontrollably. It will go away with time, just don't get as stoned next time.
