Does sudden abstinence from alcohol after regular heavy drinking trigger epilepsy?

Patient's question:

I usually love drinking beer, and I always have two or three small glasses of baijiu while having dinner at home. Now it seems my liver isn't doing well, so I'm not too confident about drinking beer anymore. But if I don't drink it for a day, I feel extremely weak and unclear-headed, and it makes me very uncomfortable. I still drink a little every day, but I'm also very worried.

Doctor's answer:

If you have a habit of taking drugs, it can make your body develop a rejection to alcohol. Suddenly quitting alcohol can cause your body to have adverse reactions again, leading to epilepsy. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention not to take drugs and to eat more foods rich in vitamins. Regular exercise to maintain good physical fitness. Have a regular schedule of rest and work. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. In addition, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
