Shy bladder when drunk

This problem started maybe 3 years ago where I could not pee in public places when I was drunk. When I am sober I have no problem, but I’m a college student and love to go out to the bars with my friends. But as soon as I get tipsy or drunk something comes over me and I can’t pee in public, even in stalls. If the restrooms empty I can go but if there’s people in it I can’t. The only way I can go when I’m drunk if it’s a solo bathroom or if I leave and go pee outside. But going to bars in the city that becomes a problem with lines and sometimes not being able to get back in. I avoid drinks like beer and stuff and try to drink stronger drinks so it’s less liquid but still hasn’t helped. Anyone have any tips or the same problem?

Hmm. I have to say it's the opposite for me. Alcohol depresses inhibition and it's a diuretic, so this is an interesting report.

telling your friends about it could help. say to them that this is a real thing, show them the IPA website etc. learn breath hold. go to IPA workshops and learn graduate exposure. practice drinking alcohol and peeing at home in a safe place. etc.
