Alcohol use makes a person susceptible to epileptic fits. This is the case if they have not been diagnosed as epileptic or had a fit. If the person who drinks alcohol is epileptic, the efficacy of their anti - epileptic medication is counteracted by the alcohol.

Can drinking to much alcohol cause a seizure?
Last night I had a seizure. I had drank a bit too much alcohol (although not rediculous amounts) I'm speaking of around 4 pints of lager and a vodka. I do not have epilepsy. I had stopped drinking at around 1:00 am and went to bed feeling intoxicated but not ill, dizzy or incapable. I woke up in the middle of the night needing a drink of water. Went to get one and after tasting the water my seizure began. I bit through my lip completely during it and woke up with vague memories even though I was conscious (but in an altered state of mind) during the seizure. This seizure probably was not caused by alcohol alone, but also malnutrition and stress. I had not eaten anything all day and I am under a lot of pressure at work and home.
