Is Alcohol Consumption Safe While On Levipil?

I had faced seizures last year on 5 occasions. As a result, I have been taking Levipil 250 twice a day. My question is : I am going on a small picnic for 2 days. Can I consume Beer, at least 1 bottle during the tour, in spite of having taken Levipil 250 ? Or is it worth, skipping the tablet once ? Kindly advise.

Levipil tablet is an anti-convulsant medication, which is used for the treatment of epilepsy. Levipil interaction with alcohol is found to be moderate. Consumption of alcohol with it is not recommended as it can result in dizziness and difficulty in concentration. Skipping the dose is also not recommended. If you miss a dose of then you need to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. You should not double your dose to make up for the missed dose.
