Wetting the bed after you’ve had a few drinks is a problem no one wants to experience.
Although the majority of people will outgrow the problem of bedwetting in childhood, for a small percentage of adults it continues to be an embarrassing issue. For many of these adults, bedwetting might occur after drinking alcohol.
