Step-by-step: Here's a way to evaluate your urine issue before you see a doctor - but that's what will give you a clear answer. http://www.drugs.com/symptom/blood-in-the-urine-in-men-1.html Also - please realize that beer counts as alcohol. And, if you drink lots, it counts as a lot of it. Liver disease can darken urine, but it's not the likely cause of red blood. Hope it's nothing big. Be well.

Bladder or kidney: The bleeding could be from from the kidneys or the bladder. Make sure you go see your doctor for evaluation as soon as possible.
