I'll keep this short. Basically after a few beers I simply cannot stop pissing. Take the Friday just past as an example, I had 4 bottles of Bud, and was pissing every 5 minutes. I get the same with energy drinks too. A can of red bull or the likes will have me pissing like a race horse. How normal is this? Anything I can do to help other than avoiding both beverages? I am only 21 by the way and have no other health problems (that I'm aware of).

Well energy drinks contain caffiene which is a diuretic(makes you pee). Not sure on the beer front though.

Yes, alcohol is a diuretic, too.

This means the body is encouraged to draw water from itself (organs, blood, faeces) and put it into your bladder thus your bladder fills up quicker than normal and you will need to piss more often.

There we go then smile

I get the same with caffiene, but not with alcohol strangely. I guess you must be pretty sensetive to diuretics Easty.

Surely, it would be more useful if he stuck his finger up his urethra. Or at least use a cork. wink

How old are you? It is quite possible that your bladder is not emptying fully, hence the need to make repeated trips to the loo. It can be prostate related as suggested or something else amiss with your water works.

I would certainly recommend a trip to your GP.

(sorry just saw that you are 21). Unlikely to be prostate at this age although not impossible. I would still get to the GP.

BTW do you piss like a racehorse when you go or is it an embarrassing trickle? GP will ask you this and carry out some simple tests to rule out kidney problems diabetes etc.

Piss like a racehorse. I can usually get a few pints down me before it starts but last week was only 4 bottles. It runs in the family. My dad is the same but nowhere near as bad as me.

Wait a sec. The cold will not help. Which reminds me, I had to have an ultrasound check on my bladder this year during the snowy/icey period we had - an hour before the test, I had to drink 2 litres of water. Cue me wandering around in the ice and snow with a full bladder desperate for a piss... and they were behind schedule, too. banghead

If you have had this problem for as long as you can remember it could be a urethral valve.

It only became a problem when I started boozing. It is only Alcohol and energy drinks that cause it.

The reason is that it doesn't take long for your body to make piss from bud.
Drink beer and it will take a lot longer.

I don't think this is uncommon, I am 21 aswell and if i'm on lager when i'm out I also piss like a racehorse. I drink between 1-3 litres of water a day and this doesn't have the same effect on me as pints/bottles of lager. I'm usually ok until I 'Burst the seal' then i'm at the pisser 2 maybe 3 times an hour.

Exactly the same as me. Once I've broken the seal then it's all over. I need to piss literally every 10minutes, sometimes sooner.
