I have never associated the alcohol with the number of times I get up. Now I have a new study to conduct.

You know I started experimenting with my body to see what worked or made it worse...
Water...I know you all heard it before but I have found I can pretty much drink anything throughout the day...but come about 6pm I drink a large 18 plus ounces of water and about an hour before bed I drink another 16oz of water and I'm getting up but maybe once a night if that. Before this I was getting up as much as 5 to 6 times which made for a rotten night sleep as you know...lol. Just what has worked very well for me. Hope it might help someone else.

Since i cut my alcohol intake to no more than two nites a week, ive seen an improvement on nightly trips, just one or two now. Also have stopped drinking tea at nite and that has helped. Perhaps the best for me is to avoid any and all liquids past 7 pm, alcohol or not.

I'm curious I haven't had any issues like that. But I do not drink alcohol at all. It's not because of my M.S it's because of the family history of alcoholism. Better to be safe then sorry. BUT I do drink a lot of coffee. I usually have a large travel mug going when I go to sleep and yet I don't usually have to get up and pee in middle of the night. This is making me curious about the amount of my fellow M.Sers that have that issue.

I gave up alcohol 3 years ago. Now, I did love my margarita that’s for sure but, I love seeing my kid’s & Grandchildren more. They win Hands down 🤗
