Best Answer

When you drink alcohol, it blocks the water receptors in your kidney so your body thinks it is hydrated when it's not. This is why when you drink your urine is usually clear and diluted because your body thinks it doesn't need the excess water and expels it from your body. This is also why you get dehydrated from alcohol. The next day however all that alcohol needs to excrete from your body so your urine is highly concentrated with alcohol.
