Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your husband has acute retention of urine either due to Impacted stone in the prostatic part of urethra or Enlarged prostate .
He needs to be taken to ER and get following basic tests done to confirm the cause of retention of urine
1) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis
2_ Plain X- ray abdomen and Pelvis
He may need to get catheterized to drain out his bladder .
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

We knew he had retention of urine.. What about rum and whiskey..Can they cause swelling of prostate or UTI? If a stone is lodged by the prostate duct and it is not flushed out, can this problem he has now keep reoccurring? Because it comes and goes ...sometimes intervals of 6 to 8 weeks approximately? He just keeps taking antibiotics.. He has probably taken them at least 5 to 6 times in the past year...We want to know what is wrong and have it fixed...not just keep taking antibiotics and ruin his immunities .......
Brief Answer:
You need to investigate to find out the cause rather than taking antibiotic
