Various clinical pictures may be identified within the relationship between alcoholism and epilepsy: a) epilepsy existing prior to the drink habit in which attacks are facilitated by intake of alcohol: b) convulsive syndrome coming on following prolonged intake of alcohol (real alcoholic epilepsy); c) convulsive attacks arising after acute intake of alcohol. Within the field of real alcoholic epilepsy two forms can be distinguished. One is generally reversible and arises 5-10 years following the start of the alcohol habis, the other tardive, starting years later irreversible). These pictures probably have different aetiopathogenetic mechanisms and this implies a different therapeutic approach.
在酒精中毒与癫痫的关系中，可以识别出各种临床症状：a）饮酒习惯之前就存在的癫痫，饮酒会促使发作；b）长期饮酒后出现的惊厥综合征（真正的酒精性癫痫）；c）急性饮酒后出现的惊厥发作。在真正的酒精性癫痫领域，可以区分出两种形式。一种通常是可逆的，在开始饮酒习惯5至10年后出现，另一种是迟发性的，数年之后开始且不可逆。这些症状可能有不同的病因发病机制，这意味着治疗方法也不同。
