Benfotiamine: Benfotiamine, a derivative of thiamine (vitamin b1), is marketed as an antioxidant dietary supplement as being effective in treatment of various medical condition including painful nerve conditions. Even if this product was found to be effective in controlling dysuria (painful or burning urination), concurrent alcohol consumption would likely negate its effect.

Thiamine: Or vitamin b1, is what you're describing, and that has not proven to be helpful in humans, except for alcoholics who may have a deficiency. The burning on urination should be treated by a physician, and not with any urinary anesthetic.
