Can Alcohol Worsen UTI Condition?

Good morning - For the past few years I've had symptoms of a UTI every 3 weeks or so. The pain usually goes away after a day of drinking lots of water and urinating constantly. When it hasn't, I've received antibiotics from my doctor but the urine test sent off usually comes back negative after a couple of days. The dip test is always faint but my doctor always calls to say that it wasn't actually a UTI. The ABX work though...That or it is just going away on its own. I've started documenting what I'm drinking the night before and it appears that alcohol is a theme but I'm not sure. Thoughts?
