Why does urine turn clear when consuming alcohol?
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it causes the body to produce more urine. This increased urine production can dilute the urine, making it appear clearer. Additionally, alcohol can also lead to dehydration, which can further contribute to clearer urine as the body tries to expel excess water.
What is the roleof ADH in thebody's waterbalance?
ADH causes the body (kidney) to conserve water and produce more concentrated urine
What will alcohol do to the density of urine?
Alcohol actually affects the brain which in turn, affects urine production. ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and excreted by the pituitary gland. This hormone makes the kidney absorb the water in the bloodstream. When a person drinks alcohol, the excretion of ADH hormone is decreased. Therefore, the kidney does not absorb the water as it should. Then more urine is made. When more urine is made, it is less dense. Because the ADH hormone is decreased, people can produce too much urine and get dehydrated from drinking too much alcohol.
What is the role of ADH in the body’s water balance?
ADH causes the body (kidney) to conserve water and produce more concentrated urine

How does alcohol affect the urinary system?
Alcohol inhibits ADH (anti-diuretic hormone, which creates a concentrated urine to keep more water for use in the body). This causes the Loop of Henle in the kidneys to NOT reuptake water as it normally would with the release of ADH. So you create a more dilute urine (more water and sodium), causing dehydration, low blood volume (once you have stopped consuming alcohol) and low blood pressure. This is what causes hangover symptoms!
Why is urine clear when drinking alcohol?
Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production. This can lead to more dilute urine, which appears clearer in color. Additionally, alcohol can affect the body's ability to concentrate urine, further contributing to its clarity.
Does alcohol stay in urine for more than 72 hrs?
No
What causes more deaths guns or alcohol?
No contest, alcohol
Would happen if you drink alcohol with urine?
there would be more of it and your urine would be more translucent.
Why does body produce more urine than it takes in?
Mainly because it does not take in urine. Urine is a waste product produced by the body
Does alcohol cause kidney failure?
alcohol suppresses the amount of ADH (anti-diahretic hormone) released, causing less water being reabsorbed from urine to blood in kidneys. you will then produce a lot of dilute urine as a result >> To measure the alcohol concentration in their urine I would test the concentration of the urine, to test how much water there was in the urine. Normally, 95% of the urine is composed of water, but if the person had drunk alcohol, the kidneys would take out more water (from the blood) than usual and pass it into the urine. This would have a diluting effect on the urine, so more of the urine would be composed of water than normal. I could test for water by dipping dry cobalt chloride paper into the urine. I could then note any colour change. A pale pink would indicate water, and I could compare the colour of the paper to the other urine samples.
