many things can happen depending on duration of seizure - if they are still drinking - stop
if they have stopped it could be a withdrawal seizure which usually occurs shortly after stopping ( few days - few weeks )

What do you mean? "a severe seizure".
Do you mean they become so disoriented that don't know what they are doing and don't know who their wives, husbands and friends are?
