61 yrs old , urinating a lot more than usual no matter what i drink water, beer, wine. possible causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs testing: Beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages, as well as caffeinated sodas, actually cause you to urinate out more fluid than you took in, because both alcohol and caffeine have diuretic effects. The most common reason for increased urination is diabetes, but there are other causes as well. You need to see your physician for a check-up, together with a urinalysis-and maybe further testing if needed.
