Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Regarding bike riding, if you are free of seizures for the past six months, you can ride your bike.
However, alcohol drinking could aggravate the chances of seizure recurrence. So, I would advise you against consuming alcohol.
Please continue the medications regularly.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
