NO. BECAUSE WITHDRAWAL OF IT CAN LEAD TO SEIZURES.YOU ARE SUSEPTIBLE TO DEVELOP SEIZURES ITSELF BECAUSE OF PROBABLE CALCIFIED NEUROCYSTICIRCOSIS.

Alcohol is a potent toxic material for brain. Your doctors must have advised you not to consume. Alcohol can precipitate seizure and it can reduce the effect of medicine also.
