Immediate burning in urethra after drinking alcohol.

Google has failed me. Many others have asked the question but no one has an answer. Word for word, this is what I have:

I've tried searching around for this, and thus far have found no other examples of this "problem."

Whenever I drink alcohol, any amount (even if it's just a gulp of wine), the inside/end of my urethra gets an irritated/burning sensation. If I keep drinking, I'm pretty sure it goes away, but it's like I can just detect alcohol within less than a minute of drinking it because of this. It's happened EVERY time I drink.

It's not a big problem, but it makes me worry. How can alcohol get from my stomach to my blood to my kidneys and up through my bladder in 30-60 seconds? It sort of makes me worry I have a kidney problem, except there's no other signs that this might be the case, and I'm just deducing that from a wild guess.

What do I do? I'll ask my doctor the next time I see her but in the meantime perhaps someone can enlighten me...

Edit: it doesn't burn when I pee; this is immediately upon swallowing the alcohol, even a sip. I do feel like I need to pee as the burning sensation hits, but I don't.
