Hello, It is not at all normal to have such episodes of posturing of hand, motionlessness. It probably is a seizure. Heavy alcohol binge is very well known to precipitate seizures. She needs to be evaluated for the same. At the very least she should avoid this habit of heavy alcohol intake. Sometimes a small seizure may propagate and become full-blown, which can be life-threatening event. Good luck.
