Riding the ghost train

When you go on a heavy bender then stop and start sweating, shaking, throwing up, hallucinating and seizing. Horrible nightmares are common if you somehow manage to fall asleep. Wich will be very hard .

It is a euphemism for Delirium tremens.

Person 1 : I've been on this 3 week bender and alcohol isn't hitting the same anymore. The buzz is gone. I think I'll take a t-break.

Person 2: you'll be riding the ghost train? You got some balls
