A member asked:
How possible (percentage-wise) am i to have a seizure from this much alcohol every night for over 2 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear question: You do not indicate how much alcohol you consume, but your question suggests you may have a huge problem. If you stop drinking suddenly, you could suffer a withdrawal seizure. So, contact your doctor ASAP, consider entering an AA program, and get this addressed now. Do NOT wait, potential for disaster can be very profound.
