Alcohol
Several studies have proved that abusing alcoholic drinks in the long term can increase the risk of epilepsy. This is because some components in alcohol would stimulate the brain and affect its functions. Especially, when a person has repeated alcohol withdrawal, it would make the brain become more excitable gradually. What’s more, these people tend to have a higher possibility of suffering from traumatic brain injuries, which are also a major risk factor for epilepsy. [11]
