I have been diagnosed with epilepsy (though I am 31 with no priori signs of this disease) and the main factor identified was fatigue. I used to drink a lot, as I used to consider this the only way for me to relax, evade and have fun with friends. Wrong news though is alcohol lower your epileptogen threshold and added to the level of exhaustion I had at this time, it was decisive in triggering my crisis. So I decided to quit, not for me really, but mainly because I did not want to fall on the streets while carrying my daughter. What missed much was the taste of beer and wine, but for the former, non alcoholic beers have made tremendous progress and Brooklyn lagers offers a 0.4% alcohol beer that could trap any beer lover into thinking this is a real IPA. I wish you to find what works for you, for me it was all a matter of finding something more important than those destructive habits. And go easy on you, it's not failing, just making progress and experimenting. I occasionally allow me a glass of good wine with my wife when the bottle is worth the degustation.
