Water is lost from the body primarily via respiration,sweating and urinating.......diarrhea also. The body regulates its loss of water via 'checks and balances'(kidneys and pores). So when sweating is heavy ( hot conditions) one urinates less and the reverse takes place when the time is cold with urinating on the increase. Remember that excessive water loss leads to dehydration which can be fatal.

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.
