well im 15 and i have epilepsy i go drinking sometimes with my friends, is this bad or would i be ok if i dont drink as much
Hi Hon: Ok I take it your on anti epilepsy medication? So that in itself calms the brains over activeness, so adding a suppressent (such as alchohol) to the mix is NOT a good idea! Even though it has been "awhile" since I was a teenager, I feel sometimes it was yesterday, So I TOTALLY understand you wanting to be like everyone else and "go drinking..." but you have a health issue, and even though you think that being with your friends is the most important thing right not, you have to think to yourself "is it as important as my health?" Hopefully the answer is no! There is nothing stopping you from having a "virgin" drink, I did it and no one is the wiser. A lot of times, teenagers are just looking for others not to do something, so they aren't the only ones. Also remember this, any medication you take goes through your liver for processing. As does alcohol! So can you imagine being your liver on a Saturday night!!!? 8-| It just started thinking "Oh my shift is almost over and I've processed all this work ...." and then WHAM!!!! you slam some more work down for it to process!!! Your liver is responsible for bile! So if you tick it off, it will produce SO much bile, you wont know what hit you!! ;-) So health ahead of bile OK?!!!! XD Good luck!!!
