    - Many people with epilepsy are at high risk of seizures after drinking three or more alcoholic beverages. Research indicates one or two drinks per day may be safe without worsening seizures or changing medication levels. - Alcohol is a common trigger for seizures, especially during hangovers when the brain is dehydrated. Drinking more than two drinks per day puts epileptics at risk for seizures, while binge drinking (4+ drinks for women, 5+ for men) can also trigger seizures. - Small amounts of alcohol are generally considered safe for those with epilepsy, but heavy drinking and binge drinking should be avoided due to risk of seizures.
