Alcohol is a depressant. When you are withdrawing, your nervous system is over activated. So you can have tachycardia, hypertension, tremors, etc.

Possibly due to cardiogenic shock from multisystem organ failure. Without lab work and facts thsts pure speculation. Jaundice points to liver failure and tachycardia can be caused by a ton of things.
