I am a recovering alcoholic and just curious how blackouts seem to happen progressively faster? I’ve heard this is common in people who abuse alcohol.

Also, alcohol acts as a preventative of epileptic seizures, so just as quickly withdrawing anti epileptic drugs can cause seizures, withdrawal of alcohol can also cause seizures. Repeated attempts to quit alcohol increases the likelihood of having seizures becoming permanent. Worse still the area of the brain that is affected is very hard and sometimes impossible to treat with anti epileptic drugs.
Sudden withdrawal of alcohol is extremely dangerous.
