No! it doesn't.
It just promotes your free water reabsorption in the distal tubules of the kidney.
It increases the amount of aquaporines in the cell membrane, causing an influx of water in the medulla of the kidney.
Sodium concentration of the urine will be higher because the urine is more concentrated. However, there isn't more sodium excreted.
Alcohol can inhibit the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and helps regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body by controlling water reabsorption in the kidneys.
-Increase in alderstone secretion -Decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -Increase in ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secretion -Decrease in secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide
Aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are the two molecules that play a role in causing the kidneys to retain sodium. Aldosterone acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys to increase sodium reabsorption, while ADH acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, indirectly leading to sodium retention.
During water loading, excess water is consumed, causing a decrease in osmolarity of body fluids. This decrease triggers a reduction in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion by the pituitary gland. As a result, the kidneys produce a larger volume of diluted urine to excrete the excess water and maintain normal osmolarity levels in the body.
Low Sodium with high potasium can be caused by addison's disease. Low Sodium with low potasium is caused by having too much water in the blood. (fluid overload) This can be due to kidney problems or innapropriate secretion of a hormone called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which reduces urine volume. Treatment often involves fluid restriction and some specialists use ADH antagonists

The most important hormone regulators of electrolyte reabsorption and secretion are aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase sodium reabsorption, while ADH acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. Together, these hormones help regulate electrolyte balance in the body.
ADH secretion is stimulated by factors such as dehydration, high blood osmolality, low blood pressure, and stress. These conditions trigger the hypothalamus to release ADH from the posterior pituitary gland to help regulate water balance in the body.

Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland. ADH helps regulate the concentration of urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, and its secretion is influenced by blood osmotic pressure to maintain water balance in the body.
ADH is short for Anti Diuretic Hormone and it prevents excess water loss. As such, a hyper-secretion of ADH will result in less urine by volume, and the urine will have a lower concentration of water. Conversely, it will have a higher concentration of solutes (Sodium, Potassium, Urea, etc.)
Aldosterone is the hormone from the adrenal cortex that stimulates the distal convoluted tubules to reabsorb more sodium ions. This helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.
Alcohol inhibits the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland, leading to increased urine production and dehydration. This can contribute to the diuretic effect of alcohol and can lead to increased frequency of urination and potentially disrupt the body's water balance.
The neurohypophyseal secretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to the formation of concentrated urine. ADH acts on the collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys to increase their permeability to water, allowing the body to conserve water and produce concentrated urine.
Alcohol (ethanol) acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit ADH secretion. This leads to diuresis and the typical repeated trips to the bathroom while at the bar drinking.
