why are the seisures different

my husbund is an alcoholic. he drinks about 2-3 40 oz 8% beers in about a six hour period of time he will then become drunk and eventually seize. What I am confussed about is that he will have severall different kind of seisures. sometimes they will be simple absent seisures, other times they are grand mal seisures. sometimes he will begin to talk in strange languages although he only speaks english. sometimes he will be very angry other times he will be very funny.  The seisures can last for 5 min. or as long as 40 min. all with the same amount of beer. I am confused as to what make the difference in his seisures if you have any insight please let me know.

It honestly doesn't matter what type of seizure he is having, just the fact of it all. Technially any seizure lasting over 5 min should be checked by the nearest ER!! Brain damage occurs with seizures, and they are not to be played with!

Has seen a doctor about this?  I understand the curiosity about the differences in the seizures but seizures aren't something to fool around with.  Good luck!!!!
