A seizure is a sudden change of your behavior because of electric activity (abnormal) in the brain. There are many causes - Including INJURY/TRAUMA to the BRAIN Things going wrong with your metabolism -Liver Failure -Kidney failure -Not getting enough nutrients -Use of drugs -etc... Infections Tumors (cancerous tissue)
Seizures are triggered by many different factors. I'll make you a short list of some:
...all of this could cause a seizure, what causes a seizure varies with the different types of epilepsy and the persons having epilepsy, so does the level of the different triggers needed to trigger one (like the amount of alcohol needed to cause a seizure)
Hope this answers your question :-)
There is electrical activity going on in everyone's brain at all times. A seizure happens when there is some change in the level of that activity. What specifically causes that to happen is different for different people. Epilepsy is a single name that in reality covers many different things, as many different things can affect electrical activity in the brain.
Everyone has the potential to have a seizure. People who are diagnosed as having epilepsy have recurring seizures. The frequency, severity, types and causes of those seizures can vary widely. Something that causes a seizure in one person may have no effect on another person who also has epilepsy.
You commonly hear of seizures being caused by flashing lights or strobe lights. That only causes seizures in a very small percentage of the people that have epilepsy. For the vast majority of people with epilepsy, flashing lights and strobe lights will not trigger a seizure. Those people have other triggers for their seizures. So the answer is that abnormal electrical activity in the brain is what causes seizures, but there are many things that can cause abnormal electrical activity in the brain and it is different for each person.
Syncope is a loss of consciousness or fainting, sometimes caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, but is different to Epilepsy. Seizures in Epilepsy are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. So Syncope would not be a cause of seizures.

Alcohol is not a known cause of dog seizures, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could trigger them. Dog seizures can be caused by certain food and toxins, and alcohol may be toxic to some dogs.
Strokes are to do with a problem in blood flow to the brain. This would not be caused by a seizure. Seizures and strokes are two very different things.
Seizures are caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. A back injury would not directly cause that to happen. It is possible that someone with a back injury could also happen to have seizures. If seizures started around the same time as the back injury, then it would be important to know how the back injury was caused and if something else could have happened at the time which led to the start of seizures. Only a doctor that could examine the person could establish if there is any connection.
Seizures for people who have photosensitive epilepsy. They are caused by reactions to light, like flashing lights, strobe lights, flickering lights etc.
Encephalitis can be caused by a mosquito called the Culex. It caused seizures, memory loss, personality changes, or brain damage.
A seizure is caused by a disruption of electrical activity in the brain. There are a variety of causes for this, so it is not a simple question to answer. Different people have different causes for their seizures.
This is a question for a vet.
His cancerous tumor was inside his brain, which caused a few seizures.
Only about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy are affected by flashing lights, so sunglasses make no difference to other people who have epilepsy. Their seizures are caused by other factors.Only about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy are affected by flashing lights, so sunglasses make no difference to other people who have epilepsy.

Closing of the eyes, unsteadyness. Passing out is caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, seizures.
