Hi, I have been a heavy drinker for over thirty years daily (five or six vodka drinks nightly till I eat and go to bed). Over the last couple years I have tried to cut down several times. Each time I develop a frequent urination situation. Whenever I drink anything (water, soup, coffee, a beer), I have to urinate instantly and then, frequently until reaching some point. If I start using alcohol heavily again, it goes away. Or seems to.
I'm thinking that the heavy drinking is maybe masking a bladder or urinary problem.
Any opinions?
Can withdrawal cause it and it will go away eventually?
Currently drinking 2 beers a night for the past 5 days and feel really good except for the urination thing. And a couple nights of weird dreams.
Out of work and no health insurance but considering seeking a free health clinic in the Long Beach, California area.
Thanks
