What Causes Urinary Incontinence After Consuming Alcohol?
My boyfriend is 57 years old, does not drink daily about once a week or every 10 days but doesn't know when to quit to the point he urinates wherever and almost doesnt know where he is? What can I do about the wetting and would he be considered a alcoholic? Should I get help?

There are several questionairres that help to define if there is a problem.

shortest would be does he need an eye-opener the next day, has he felt he needs to cut down, ever feel guilty about things, any DWI's, have people annoyed you by questioning your drinking (CAGE).
Then a separate issue is the wetting. Consier saying you won't be around him on that one day a week.....
Hope this helps
