6. Alcohol

While small amounts of alcohol do not typically cause seizures, binge drinking can. Most alcohol-related seizures occur as alcohol is leaving the system in people with and without epilepsy. This typically happens several hours after drinking, though it can take as long as 72 hours. Consuming food alongside alcohol can minimize this effect. Additionally, many medications react negatively when combined with alcohol and can trigger seizures and other harmful effects.
