Hello
Thanks for query .
You have undergone endoscopic surgery for fragmentation of stone in ureter and a D.J stent has been placed in renal unit .
The pain in kidney while urinating is due to back flow of urine to kidney during urination through lumen of the stent and there is nothing to be worried about it .It will get resolved after removing the stent .
As regards consuming Beer .There is no harm in consuming Beer .It will not you in any way .
