Can Smoking Pot Cause Bed Wetting To Get Worse?

Hi there

just wanted to know does smoking pot and drinking alcohol together, cause bed wetting to get worse?

As I have found this to be a problem more so as I've gotten older. And now I would like to deal with it as Im with a partner and feel embarressed when I wake up in the morning all wet.

Thanks Nikki

Yes, but especially the alcohol. Heavier sedation weakens the controls on the bladder BUT the alcohol also overfills the bladder both by being a diuretic and being added fluid. Alcohol is also a more powerful sedative.
