sleep peeing

when i was a kid apparently i had probelms with going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, i wouldnt get up i would just pee the bed. the doctor told me i have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. a little after my father found me sleep walking around the house and he didnt know why, i then proceeded to pee on the floor. apparently this had happened multiple times all as a kid. we seemed to think i was just sleep walking but couldnt find the bathroom. now im 19 and this happens only when i drink a lot. the first time it happened i really had no idea and no one saw, my friends futon was just soaked and my pants were dry except my butt that was sitting on it, now i realize i had gotten up, peed on the futon, then went back to sleep on it. this was about a year ago since then it has happened 4 more times, 1 where i peed in a mudroom, 2 where i peed in my friends room on his furnace / carpet, another where i peed in the garbage, of course it missed and ran all over the floor, and one where i peed in someones laundry room, that one went unoticed. one time i got up and my friend was like, where are you going? (after they were aware of what i was prone to doing) and apparently i just kept saying two pointless words, idk what they were, but eventually he said i clearly snapped out of w.e i was doing and said 'im going to the bathroom' then got up and went to the bathroom. i just wish this shit would stop its so embarassing and so far its only happened with my close friends who are thankfully forgiving but one day its going to happen with someone idk very well and im scaredddd. i need to cut back my drinking.
