About half of people with alcoholism will develop withdrawal symptoms upon reducing their use. Of these, 3% to 5% develop DTs or have seizures.
Note the fatalitiy rate of DT is 1-4%. Everything about alcoholism makes it seem so much worse than you'd pick up from societal queues
Reading just above that statistic...
Mortality without treatment is between 15% and 40%.
