Embarrassing problem

LegacyUser

Going unreg for this for reasons that will soon appear obvious. I basically have this problem of wetting the bed when I've had a few beers and it is beginning to become something of a problem. I don't think I drink more than anyone else but when I have a good session, let's say, in excess of six pints, it is pot luck whether or not I piss the bed. This has caused me embarrassment and the disappointment of my family as it has happened when staying over with my parents. Also friends are understandably getting f*cked off with this. I went out with a few mates last night for a few beers and stayed over with a mate last night. Of course I woke up this morning and had pished all round me. I just cleared off as I was utterly mortified and just a few minutes ago he texted me calling me a cnut - I can't blame the guy.

Now I know that not drinking is one way of making sure this doesn't happen, but that is obviously something I'd rather not do if it could be avoided. Can anyone offer any advice here as this is starting to get me down badly. I mean, what if I started seeing someone and first night we sleep together she wakes up doused in pish. Hardly on to a winner there. This needs sorted so if anyone can help then please do!!

Thanks.

You have answered your own question. Lay off the booze. Does this happen when you haven't had any drink?

It doesn't happen when I haven't drunk anything. I know not drinking beer is a solution but I was hoping there might be some sort of middle ground. I mean, it is not a nice thought to have to totally give up alcohol.

I don't want people to miscontrue this as someone who is only posting here to hear something they want to hear. It may end up that I'll have to lay of the booze but I just wanted to explore other options, like are there exercises to improve bladder control, or if any other poster here with knowledge of this problem found that moving to shorts solved the problem due to less volume of liquid.

Thanks.

What kind of sleep you getting the night before the session?
being honest i suffer from the same problem..also unwilling to give up drink.
The annoying thing is iv been drinking since i was 15 and its only happened in recent years (21 now)

Anyhoo i think its caused by my irregular sleeping before hitting the town. I often stay up all nite and hit the pub next day so its no surprise really.
Not sure about moving to shorts but it could be an option

Moving to shorts is not an option. Both of you have an underlying problem. Head to the doctor and see what they say.

That happened a friend of mine when went back to her new fella's place one night.
She was mortified and did a legger as soon as she could.

Have you tried drinking shorts instead of pints?
Or stopping drinking a few hours before going to bed?
Or setting an alarm to go off on the hour to remind you to get up and go to the loo whether you feel like you need it or not?
I know it sounds like a pain and it'll give you an awful night's sleep, but it's better than pissing on your friend's/parent's bed!

Best of luck, sounds awful.

How much do you drink usually? Could you cut down and see if that makes a difference.

I think it'd be no harm to have a word with your GP too.

OP, I actually think this could be a medical issue. I think you should visit your GP as there are a lot of options to deal with this problem, and you'd need to rule out an underlying cause.

I think there are several contributory factors here.

In the past I drank a hell of a lot, like I mean a lot every day and was depressed and was just in a bad place in life. These days I drink much less - one or two nights a week max, but when I do get a drink in me, I develop this gluttony. I literally cannot wait to get the drink down my throat so end up taking on large volumes.

There is also the problem that I probably don't get enough sleep. Despite the fact that I'm training quite a bit etc I never seem to get much more than 5 hours of sleep a night. I think this definitely takes its toll because at the weekend when I can have a lie in, it can sometimes be nearly lunchtime before I wake, let alone get up.

What I think I will try is to make a concerted effort to get to bed earlier and stop f*cking about on the internet. Secondly I think if I make sure there is a clear period of time between my final drink and when I go to bed, thereby allowing the beer to "go through me" as it were. Thing is, sometimes this doesn't work. I can think of times I have come back from the pub a bit drunk but by no means plastered and before going to bed I have stood over the toilet with my c0ck out trying my best to piss and nothing happens. Then I go to bed but the next morning I wake up and it has happened again. Sometimes it is almost as if it is happening for badness.

You dont do it when you dont drink,but do it when you are soused.

Seems like a pretty open and shut case to me.

Maybe switch to bottles instead of pints?

And if it happens in a mates house, clean it up before you leg it! It's bad form to leave it for them to clean up

I'm not great at maths, but seems to me from your original post that "middle ground" might be 4 or 5 pints ?

This happened to me aswell but only for a summer, however I got really hammered on those occasions. I must have wet the bed 10 times or so.This was over ten years ago, I was early twentys at the time.

I started drinking less/drinking bottles and for some reason it stopped after that summer and has never happened since. Werd.

Sorry to be harsh but it seems that by thinking those bolded sentences are the solution, you are ignoring the real issue.

You have not mentioned cutting down the drink. Is there really no way that you can stop the "gluttony" on the couple of nights a week you do drink? If the answer is no, then you really have more of a problem than just pissing the bed, and you would need to deal with that.

:rolleyes:
I didn't realise less than six pints was "totally giving up alcohol".
Will ye cop on and just start drinking fewer than six pints.

This used to happen to an ex BF of mine. He went to the doctor about it, after a full examination and some blood tests the doc told him there was nothing medically wrong with him and the answer was to give up drink. It didnt happen him everytime he drank but when he was on a heavy session he would go into such a deep sleep (more like comatose) that his brain would just ignore the messages his body was giving him to wake up and go to the bathroom. It was also worse for him if he was overtired. The doctor basically said that a combination of overtiredness and/or too much alcohol was causing his sleep to deepen to the point that no message from his body would wake him.

Hey Man, cut down on the drink it can only help you stop pissing the bed and see you GP.

I know guys and girls that this has happened to. With one girl, she had drank really heavily for years and as soon as she gave it up (for health reasons) the bed wetting problem stopped. A few of my brothers friends had this problem in their early 20s but they seemed to grow out of it. If this is happening when you drink then the obvious solution is to cut back on the drink. If it happens at a mate's house then you really need to clean it up yourself and explain the situation - nobody wants to have to clean that up. And make sure you use the bathroom when you come in, even if you don't feel a strong urge to go.

Talk to your gp about this, it could be medical matter.
