Is it normal that alcohol gives me gas or makes me want to go to the bathroom?

At first I thought it was only beer which makes sense but even wine has got me going. It is so weird. I just sip a little and boom I'm ready to go to the bathroom and make number two. It sucks though in terms of farting. I've been tipsy and notice I can't stop farting and I smell it. I'm just ugh f*ck thank god everyone here is wasted so no ones knows who it is or no one cares. It sucks even more when I'm talking to a cute guy. Last time I was talking to my friend with benefits and we were drinking at a party sorta thing but he was sober while I wasn't. The gas started kicking in and the smell was there I was like please don't think its me please don't think its me. I feel eventually he's gonna know it is me since weve been going out a lot and he probably notices it always stinks like farts when I'm around. Hmmmm...bleh.

    Awesome, a girl after my own heart...the gas started kicking in...always stinks like farts when you're around lolols. Spray your butt with air freshener? If we were in the same room, we would have people gasping for oxygen.

    You know you just may have to lay off the sauce or suffer, I mean, everyone around you will suffer the consequences. Good times.

    Ps does it really always stink like farts when you're around?

    My guess? You have an intolerance to Sulphites. Sulphites are commonly found in wine and beer - they can be naturally occurring as a consequence of the fermentation process but are sometimes added as a preservative. Symptoms of sulphite intolerance can include diarrhoea and other digestive problems - that might explain the gas and sudden need for a bowel movement.

    The solution is to stay away from wine and beer. Stick to spirits when you intend to drink alcohol - vodka, whiskey, gin etc. most of these will not contain sulphites. Try avoiding beer and wine and see if you notice a difference :)

      Or indeed as Avant-Garde suggested it could be an intolerance to gluten. Gluten can be present in beer and, though less likely, in wine. However gluten is found in a massive variety of food-stuffs so if you are gluten intolerant I expect you would have noticed having a similar or more severe reaction when consuming food with high gluten content (such as those containing wheat).

      It would be advisable to check with a doctor - they can test for intolerances and advise you on what to avoid.

    You could have a gluten intolerance or the wheat that's being used is GMO. The proper way to find out if you are allergic to gluten is to get a blood test. If the beer you are drinking is GMO, stop drinking it and switch to a non-GMO brand.

    Just don't drink alcohol anymore. It's not worth the side effects.

    It's a poison that your body is trying to get rid of.

    Irritable bowel syndrome is what it sounds like to me, maybe alcohol is a trigger. Also alcohol is a dieuretic so its normal to have to pee. What you should do is take some anti diarrheal medications like peptobismol before you drink.

    Alcohol naturally has things in it that make you have to goto the bathroom often. The more you drink, the more you run to the ladies room. Idk about the gas though...
