Not alcohol. UTI?: Alcohol doesn't do this despite persisting folklore about it. If the symptoms are simlar to past UTIs you have had, that's the best bet -- especially if you have urinary frequency and urgency as well as painful urination. Always consider STDs for such symptoms, but of course only at risk (new partner in past few months, partner with other partners, etc). See a doctor if it continues. Good luck.
