A member asked:
My friend has a seizure condition and i keep telling him not to drink his stomach is filling out because of the alcohol is this dangerous ?

Good advice: I think the advice you are giving your friend is appropriate. Alcohol can lower the seizure threshold and lead to more seizures. It can also lead to aspiration if his stomach is full of contents.
