Help answer this question below.

I was told I cannot do anything about a kidney stone besides urinate it out. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain?

    I heard someone once tell a kidney stone sufferer to drink a six pack of beer. The alcohol will alleveiate some of the pain, and the increased level of urine will help flush out the stone. Just don't drive. And don't even think about putting.

    • In theory this is sound, however there's no easy way of telling how long it will take to flush out, so you could be drinking beer nonstop for days.

    • Actually, beer can act like a diuretic, making you more dehydrated. Dehydration just makes the pain worse.
