Yes, because if the person is on anti-seizure medication, alcohol can lessen the effects of the medication which could prompt a seizure. Also, this information should be on the bottle of the medication. If not, please contact your local pharmacy and inquire.

What should you record following a seizure?
When it happened. How long it lasted. The type of seizure. How the person felt before and after the seizure. Did they have an aura? Any potential reasons for the seizure. If you are the person who has had the seizure, some of the information can obviously only be got by someone who saw the seizure, so you will need to talk to them. If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.
