Hello
I was in a horse riding accident late September of this year so 8 months ago. I was told by my primary care provider that alcohol after a TBI could cause a seizure and since I haven't had one that "I can cross my fingers and have a drink". Him saying this has made me stay away from any drinks and as a almost 21 year old college student that is very hard while maintaining a social life. Im sure some will say it is easy to not drink but damn being the sober one while all my friends are enjoying themselves . . . no thanks. I started to do some research because I thought there was no way everyone could just go sober forever and I saw a post that said wait about a year. I assume a beer would be the way to go versus straight tequila shots. The other part I was thinking about is that the doctors have to tell you the worst case scenario but maybe someone who has experienced a similar situation could shed some light on this because it is becoming harder and harder to just say no to a beer.
