What causes alcoholics to die from seizures?

Alcoholism can affect many areas of the body such as the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. Sudden withdrawal from alcohol regarding true alcoholics is the cause of seizures. Alcohol withdrawal differs significantly from most other drugs because it can be directly fatal. An alcoholic can die from the direct effects of withdrawal if it is not properly managed. Heavy consumption of alcohol reduces the production of GABA, which is a neuroinhibitor. An abrupt stop of alcohol consumption can induce a condition where neither alcohol nor GABA exists in the system in adequate quantities, causing uncontrolled firing of the synapses. This manifests as hallucinations, shakes, convulsions, seizures, and possible heart failure, all of which are collectively referred to as delirium tremens. All of these withdrawal issues can be safely controlled with a medically supervised detox.

Does cortisone cause seizures in dogs?

Cortisone is not a commonly known trigger for seizures in dogs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could cause them. Some foods and toxins can cause dog seizures, as well as excessive external stimulus (ie, light & sound), so it could, in theory, be a trigger.
