Not sure. You may need to see your doctor and have some blood and urine tests done.
This is unusual. If you are talking beer then beer can act like a diuretic.
Renal pain doesn’t occur with alcohol drinking alone
Probably due to dehydration.
How do you know that your kidneys are aching? It could be musculoskeletal pain.
The only kidney diseases which are painful are kidney stones and some cystic kidney diseases. You may have a sensation after drinking alcohol that feels like an ache but I doubt very much it has anything to do with your kidneys. The kidneys do not even do much with alcohol. The liver does. Perhaps you are having musculoskeletal pain in the lower back.
