Why does coffee make me pee every 5 minutes?

Caffeine also acts as a diuretic, meaning it causes you to urinate more.

Should I stop drinking coffee if it makes me pee a lot?

While limiting alcohol intake can help, it is best to completely avoid when suffering from urinary incontinence. Limit the amount of caffeine you consume. Drinks like tea, coffee, soda, and decaf tea and coffee contain caffeine and can increase your urge to urinate.
