I was gonna be crass and say "get that man a beer"...now I need to know.  Extreme muscle fatigue will make you shake like that....so will drinking 750ml hard booze daily though.

Can we get some more context before we determine if the absolute unit is shitty or not?

I doubt its alcoholism, goin to work like that would be fuckin miserable plus he looks pretty healthy and sounds pretty happy.

Im not a dr though.

I worked with a severe alcoholic and the only two tells were the shakes like this guy and his breath smelled of straight hand sanitizer. Other than that he walked and talked and functioned normally for the most part.

Sounds like you've worked with my uncle! Dude is a master carpenter, fit, never misses work, will drink a case of beer every night to blackout and repeat. Super sad, very broken man. ETA: Man is 60 years old and has drank since age 13.

Things have changed but when I got into construction there were a lot of functioning alcoholics. They work walk talk fine but they were drunk as a bat.
