What Causes Bladder Pressure Immediately After Alcohol Intake?

I have noticed an urge to urinate immediately upon consuming alcohol....like 4 minutes. It seems too quick to have metabolized the drink. Is this a symptom of anything specific? Im 59, have a slightly enlarged prostate, do not smoke. I had a kidney stone 2 yrs ago.

hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understand your concern

normally alcohol inhibits the antidiuretic hormone and increases urine output but it takes atleast 30 mins time

enlarged prostate leads to urine retention and increases frequency of urination
kidney stones also increases frequency and urgency

passing urine immediately after taking alcohol is just a coincidence , with in 4 mins alcohol doesn't work

I can suggest you to get done sonogram of abdomen to recheck the status of prostate and stones
urine routine to check for infection , this also causes increased frequency and urgency

hope this helps you
thank you
