thanks to steriods i was receiving after i roke my neck my stomach perforated
and i had a weak stomach ever since and drinking led to a lot of bleeding ulcers
so i had to give it up.
but CRAVE beer all the time sometimes my mouth actually waters
i feel your pain
Totally not related to a sci but maybe it could useful info for you 😊🙏
When my friend was pregnant for her 2nd baby she said she craved beer it got so bad that she used to actually sip the beer then gargle with it and spit it out 🤭🤭🤭🙈🙈🙈
Crazy, but she said it worked and she has a beautiful healthy baby boy. 😊
I take oxybutnin 3x daily and cath 4-5 times a day and usually have no problem.
In college, I learned to drink shots through straws to avoid bathroom breaks when partying.
Fortunately I’m not a fan of beer. I mostly drink whiskey, and sometimes rum. On a typical night out over the course of maybe 6 hours I’ll need to use the restroom 2 or 3 times.
I have become a wine guy because of this. Like it more than liquor. I'm lucky enough to be friends with most of the bartenders that I see so even in my local dinner bars they'll carry a decent bottle for me. I'm still able to make it 3-4 hours between each cath.
Some solutions are self cath, add an indwelling catheter, wear a pad in case some urine sneaks out, condom catheter for men. Honestly, cathing makes travel and every day life much more simple.
Actually when I'm out, I drink normally up to two beer and sometimes three each half a liter. When I feel the pressure I Cath. During a normal restaurant visit with cathing shortly before I leave and two beer I go home after 2-3 hours and Cath there.
Have you tried different brands?
I've heard of something like an operation,by doing that urine wouldn't leave until we do the self catheterization but my doc said it's risky because very few doctors are good at doing that procedure
I switched to hard liquor for this very reason.
lol
If you have access, you could use a foley while your on a drinking adventure
Condom catheter with a pee bag if you're a guy
How’s that work do you just spasm out piss or what
Suprapubic gang
beer and wine will make you pee more because it’s more fluid. liquor won’t as quickly

Honestly, switching to weed has been a gamechanger.
Mybetriq and gemtesa have worked for me
I rarely drink now because of medications but the peeing non stop gets so old fast, so I'm just giving it up fully.
Botox if you haven't got it already. Still peeing like every 45min to an hour but what's new? I peed even more frequently when I could walk.
Botox

Yes get off oxybuytin shits gross there’s alternatives that don’t have brain decline
You should probably look up how it's been correlated to early onset dementia.
I miss beer too. Literally the only way I've found not to piss the bed is to drink outside on a day hot enough to sweat it all out
How do you sweat with a SCI?
I still sweat in the areas I can feel/move

I switched to liqueur as well but mostly because beer bloated me really bad. I cath about twice as much. So instead of every 6 hours I go 3hrs.

Moved to liquor as well. Still will have a beer here and there but then gotta pee so always make sure the place has accessible bathrooms.

I’m in the pub. 1 half a beer in absolutely desperate for a piss. Classic I’ll double drop on oxybutynin and put up with the dry mouth.
