When you drink alcohol, the posterior pituitary produces too little AntiDiuretic Hormone (ADH) when you drink alcohol. The function of ADH normally is to increase the water reabsorption from your collecting tubules in your kidney and back into your blood. Basically, ADH is an anti - diuretic (diuretic is something that increases the water concentration in your urine) so it normally decreases your urine output and in turn keeps your body well hydrated by bringing water back into your blood. When there is a decrease in ADH, less water is brought back into your blood and ends up going out of your kidneys, out to your bladder and your urine output increases.
