your bladder is very sensitive to things such as caffeine or alcohol. So if you have a UTI then yes alcohol will make it worse. Unless your bladder is really sensitive, drinking alcohol most likely won't CAUSE an infection. It will just make it worse if you already have one. Hope this helped!

drinking alcohol is not good at all for health

The alcohol can affect the pH (acidity) of the urine so its quite possible that drinking a lot of alcohol will make the symptoms worse.

it's like pouring alcohol on an open cut--it stings! Think of how your poor bladder feels!!
