See a Dr: You could have a low level infection such as giardia. See a Dr for an exam and a stool study for a definitive answer. Make sure your water intake is adequate (2.7 liters daily for men) and that the alcohol you ingest is pasteurized or distilled (not home brewed as those can contain fungi and bacteria that can irritate the bowel)
