I get this all the time. Caught a urinary tract inflection off a woman I was sleeping with (not the traditionally VD, just a urinary bug). And although it was cured, ever since my urethra has been extra sensitive, and I've had this I-gotta-pee-but-I-don't-gotta routine every few days. I've got no presure in the bladder, but my urethra feels prickly, as if there's urine in there, or as if urine is somehow irritating it. This has been going on for near 20 years.
And yes, if I drink more coffee or other acidic drinks or foods, it's more likely to happen. If I drink a whole lot of water, it's less likely to happen. It _is_ more likely to happen at night, but it happens during the day also.
It's more or less a minor issue in my life. If I'm really engaged with what's going on around me -- even with a good TV show -- I don't even notice.
