No.
Bacteria that enter the urethra and travel up the urinary tract are the usual cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Bacteria that normally live in the large intestine and are present in feces are the most common source of infection. Sexual intercourse may introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, especially in women. Catheters, which are small, flexible tubes inserted into the bladder to allow urine to drain, are a common source of bacterial infection in people who are hospitalized or live in long-term care facilities.
Occasionally bacteria traveling through the blood or lymph system cause kidney or bladder infections.
Kidney stones, an enlarged prostate in men, and structural problems in the urinary tract can contribute to UTIs by limiting the body's ability to eliminate urine completely.
Some women may be born with genes that make them more likely to get UTIs over and over again (recurrent UTIs).

No. UTI is from bacteria, usually e.coli that enters urethra from the skin (usually from the rectal area) and then travels up the urethra to the bladder.
To prevent UTIs, drink plenty of water. If you pee more, any bacteria that might be present is getting flushed out, lessening the chances that the bacteria will reach the bladder.

No. A UTI is caused by bacteria. They typically originate from your rectal area. To prevent UTI use different toilet paper for each area.

Yes you can. A lot of alcohol contains a certain amout of yeast to make it. Therefore if you consume a lot of alcohol it can turn into a yeast infection and if you wait too long to get that taken care of it will turn into UTI. You do not always know if you have a yeast infection(they do not always itch) so get your pap smears regularly and pay close attention to your body.

Sex does not cause UTI's.
