Why does alcohol act as a diuretic?
Alcohol acts as a diuretic primarily because it inhibits the secretion of the hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which helps the kidneys reabsorb water. When alcohol consumption reduces ADH levels, the kidneys excrete more water, leading to increased urine production. Additionally, alcohol can irritate the bladder and promote further urination. This diuretic effect is often why people may experience increased trips to the restroom after consuming alcoholic beverages.
