My boyfriend has a very minor and early stage of epilepsy. He last had a seizure 4 years ago. And yesterday he had a seizure again. The night before the seizure he didn't sleep at all. And he took 120ml whiskey and approx 3ltr beer. He is not an addict, just a once in a blue moon drinker. He also didn't take his daily medicine of epilepsy. What do you think is the reason of this seizure? Should alcohol or flavoured hookah be avoided by epilepsy patients?
