UTI after drinking alcohol

[rjacksmiss]

This is the 3rd time I've developed UTI symptoms after drinking alcohol. I don't drink very often,4/5 times a year maybe, at social events. I had a work night out on Friday, I don't drink too much, about 8/9 drinks over the afternoon to evening, make sure I stay hydrated after and low and behold, pain on lower abdomen and burning sensation when passing urine has started again. Is this normal?

What alcohol are you drinking?
Alcohol can set you up for a UTI due to sugar and dehydration. If you’re drinking something very sweet it can tip you into UTI land very quickly.

Pink gin with lemonade, vodka and cranberry, prosecco. 😂

That makes sense...
