Seizures occurring after drinking alcohol are epileptic?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am 25 years old this year, my first seizure was caused by drinking alcohol for 2 to 3 days without eating, but I only had it again and again when I drank for 2 to 3 days in a row. And convulsions only appear after drinking parties, and normally without drinking, they never have. So can I ask if these seizures are epilepsy?

Hi, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, for your question, I would like to answer as follows: The situation you describe is this. However, these seizures are triggered by the use of alcohol, stimulants with high alcohol content. This is why this is called an acute symptomatic seizure without epilepsy. Wish you good health!
