Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that abruptly stopping heavy, long-term alcohol use causes seizures in some dependent drinkers?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic reference states that withdrawal symptoms after stopping or significantly decreasing heavy, long-term alcohol use can include seizures, and a neurobiology review confirms alcohol withdrawal seizures occur and are worsened by repeated withdrawal episodes.
