The only two times in my life that I have sleepwalked were after drinking Belgian beer. The first time I woke to find myself using my friend's sink as a urinal and the second time I was apparantly attempting to use my parents' cupboard as a toilet, thankfully I found my way to the real toilet after my mother put me right. This was all reported to me the next morning and I have no recollection at all.
I do drink quite a lot of beer and it is only after Belgian beer that I sleepwalk. Clearly there is a correlation. I am not sure whether it is the high alcohol content, Belgian beer generally ranges from 6% upwards, or brewing methods, but one beer is enough to cause the sleepwalking.
When you sleepwalked, do you remember what you had been drinking specifically? Simply not drinking Belgian beer is the solution for me!
