It can cause seizures if you have been a big drinker for a very long time but generally if you do get epilepsy there is something else going on and that may or may not be the cause. The alcohol is really only a contributor to it not a direct cause.

This is one time I can say the computer's answer is very accurate. I do not drink because I have seen what drinking does to those without epilepsy. I have watched it ruin their lives; my family has ruined many things that way. I hate the very smell of it; if you want to drink, drink in small amounts. The doctors told me that it is probably best that I do not drink. I finally had my brain surgery, and I am now 11 years seizure-free. I got my bachelor's degree post-surgery. I am now working on my Masters degree and I have almost a 4.0. Doing impossible things and the Lord gets the glory.

Awesome great to know people thank you xx I dont drink but when I do I have never had a seizure, However my lifestyle was nightclubbing back in the day and having drinks but I never had epilepsy back then and was wondering g if that had all contributed however my Docs say diagnosis would have happened years ago if that was the case . I do know my hormones are responsible for my type

Kinda crazy, but while living as an epileptic if I had ANY alcohol I’d have a seizure the following day. But then I had the surgery. Today I can drink. But I still have epilepsy and must take medicine. And it seems as though the side effects have been exemplified. The only reason I ever want a drink is so I can stop thinking about living with these side effects and wondering what it’d be like to lead a life without them.
