ELI5: Why do some drinks like beer or coffee make me have to pee so quickly and frequently?

The term for theses kinds of things is "diuretic".
They suppress the bodies natural mechanism for retaining water. When you suppress this, more water makes it through the kidneys and into the bladder and needs excreting.

These compounds do this by mimicking a hormone your body naturally makes to regulate the amount of water in your blood.

Diuretics upset the balance, make you pee more and then make you thirty - because they've made your body lose more water than it actually wanted to.
