How does alcohol affect the kidneys?
Your kidneys filter your blood and get wastes out of it. When you drink a little bit of alcohol the kidneys filter that alcohol and are okay. But then, if you drink a lot in a short amount of time the kidneys become overworked, and you may have kidney failure, or they just might not be able to filter all of the alcohol. If that happens, the alcohol builds up in your system and starts affecting other parts of your body.answer 2 Actually, it is the poor old liver that has the work of converting the alcohol into 'usable' energy. But it is hard work for the liver and may well be beyond its ability in the short run. Allowed long enough, the liver will convert the alcohol into food. But in the short run, some of the alcohol remains in the blood, and is a welcome test for the highway patrol. Too much work for your liver from dealing with alcohol, and it will give up and you'll go a bright AA yellow![The main thing the kidneys filter out is urea, a chemical left as a by-product of metabolizing proteins.
