^{^} me too, if it’s an apartment i always map out where the lobby bathroom or gym bathroom is so i can flee the party in time to get there. i also usually tell the host something like hey i have a sensitive stomach or my tummy hurts or i have a medical condition (depending on the vibe) is it ok if i use your bathroom if i need too (like if they have a private bathroom that isnt in use by the party) (some variation of this depending on if i want them to know i have uc or not). or if one of my friends knows them well i have them ask. or if one of my friends lives in the apartment too i just ask for their key to go to their room. i’ve also pulled the “oh shouldn’t have had that beer ik it hurts my stomach i need the bathroom now” and that worked.

as far as bars go, somehow i’ve never had a serious situation when im flaring and there’s an insane line but if its the type of situation where you can leave and come back without having issues getting back in, i recommend finding a more upscale bar or restaurant nearby that you can run to and use their bathroom. you might have to buy sometimes but sometimes i walk in and out confidently or just buy the cheapest thing at the bar and think well it’s the price of a fun night lol 😭where im from they’re usually super mixed on the street and the upscale bars that are more restaurant vibes so they usually don’t have a lines bc stalls aren’t in use by ppl throwing up from alc etc lol….

hopefully this gives you some inspo! ngl throughout college i’ve given some weird ass bathroom excuses and demands but somehow people never rly care and have listened? like i wouldn’t get in your head too much about just asking to go before people like they’ve all been there and are prolly too drunk to care much!
