Seizure medication

Question

Seizure medication

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I am a case of seizure disorder on valproate 200mg BD and clobazam 5mg HS. Tonight I had around 100-120ml of beer and I'm concerned whether I should take my valproate and clobazam night dose or should I skip it just for today.Is there any dangerous risk on taking the medication after consuming such small quantities of alcohol or if skipping of medication just for one night causes any risk for withdrawal seizures?
