Instead of beer try cranberry juice. Avoid drinking sodas. Also you can drink green or black tea to help clear up that urinary tract infection. All juices and drinks with a high acidity can help but cranberry juice seems to be the most effective.
No, beer contains too much sugar and the alcohol taxes the liver and kidneys. Sugar also feeds infections. Try taking a good probiotic to replenish the good bacteria in your urinary tract. It works wonders for UTI's! Flora More 12 Billion by Renew Life is a great choice.
EDIT: Also, be sure that the cranberry juice you're drinking doesn't contain any added sugar (including corn syrup) or you will be making it worse.

Beer contains yeast and sugar that will actually make it worse.
Beer promotes fungal growth.
No, drinking alcohol can actually make it worse. If you're unwilling to see a doctor, try cranberry juice.
There was only one study that I have read confirming this, but I would stick with the traditional approach of antibiotics as soon as possible, and cranberry juice/anti-inflammatories.
Yes it's true. I've never had a UTI and I am about to go out and have a beer or two to make sure I never have one.
