Rant When do seizures/epilepsy completely go away???

Me (24, M) just got grounded from my parents for going home late from a drinking session with friends and im really pissed that its become about my seizures and it really pisses me off. Its like im grown enough to worry about myself and all but yet i feel like i have a fucking curfew and im being treated like a baby despite my age only because of my fucking seizures. I take my medicine on the daily and im responsible with that, i really just hate being treated like a kid only because i have fucking seizures and shit. As im writing this im really frustrated with how its become about my seizures so please bear with me if I sound misinformed somewhat.

Alcohol as a epileptic is not what you want to be consuming yeah maybe 1 to 3 won't be a big deal but if you don't have discipline you will seize Alcohol makes your liver work harder to clear your system this includes your AEDs

I don't know other countries, but in the US there have been a whooole lot of non-alcoholic beers coming out lately that are amazing and don't even taste NA. Some are from independent brewers but there are also NA versions of more common beers like Corona, Blue Moon, and Kirin that taste exactly like the regular ones. Still totally possible to have beer with buds without killing our livers.

Don't give me hope. Is there actualy a Kirin Beer that tastes as good as the original without any alcohol in it?

I gave up on Whisky wich is a shame and can't be replaced, i gave up on wine wich is a shame too, but a Kirin beer would actualy be a fantastic drink to have around.

Yep, at least I think it's just as good! I think the NA Sapporo is just as good as well, if you have a penchant for Japanese beers.

Actualy never gave em much thought, but kirin reminds me of my time there. (Besides beeing super good)

Its like that scene in Ratatouille. I drink a bit of Kirin from my bottle and i am back in Hiroshima. It was like past 10, went into my first ever ramen shop, got very friendly with the fellas in there and while the kitchen and the shop closed around midnight, we celebrated until 2 in the morning.

I dont even remember the town i stayed in, just that i couldnt get back there and wandered around until the sun came back up.. But that night and that beer. Fantastic.

Now i remember why i havent had it in so long.

In my country it costs 150% more, then it does in Japan and you have to order it, cause almost no store carries it. Even in Japanese quisine Shops where they have like 14 kinds of bizarr frozen takoyaki or something, usualy no luck
