Is it okay to drink alcohol with a seizure disorder that is controlled?

Only 1-2 drinks/day: Small amounts of alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/day) has been found to be not a problem in patients with well-controlled epilepsy. However, 3 or more drinks can be a problem, so if you do plan on drinking, watch your alcohol intake! when in doubt, ask your doctor about whether alcohol will interact with the anti-epileptics you are taking.

No, it isn't: Alcohol can itself provoke seizures in susceptible individuals. More importantly, any regular use of alcohol can interfere with most of the drugs used to treat seizure disorders. It will lower the drug level, decreasing its effectiveness. Your doctor may then raise the dose to get it to a therapeutic level. If you then stop drinking, the levels can go up and become toxic. Talk to the prescriber.

Yes but not drunk: If your seizures are under control, it is probably OK to drink alcohol. Getting drunk will put you in danger of lowering your seizure threshold and causing a seizure.
