Increased Urination: Both Caffine and Alcohol are diuretics. Additionally you are consuming more liquid when you drink both. Therefore, you urinate more when you drink them than when you are not.

Diuretics: Coffee and alcohol are both diuretics making one urinate more. It is said that thc lowers vasopressin release but this side effect is more about memory imprinting than urinating.
