ALCOHOL - WEB SITES SAY A LITTLE IS OK BUT NOT PHARMACISTS

Sun, 08/28/2011 - 23:07

I did not know I should drink very little, if any alcohol until my recent trip to Beijing.  The websites that I visited said that a little is ok - up to two drinks daily. Three pharmacists I spoke with disagree. However, on a few occasions I had more than that in one evening but did not have a seizure. 

I have epilepsy for about 1.5 years but did not know I had it until several months ago. 

Does anyone here know if I must stop drinking alcohol or is a little ok?
