Knowing that alcohol blocks ADH release what would be the anticipated physiological effect of excess consumption?

Answer 1

Urination would excessively increase and you'd become dehydrated. The result the next morning is a hangover.

To expound upon what has been stated:

Knowing that ADH (antidiuretic hormone) helps reabsorb water in the kidney tubules, blocking this would lead to excess water loss. Since our body is regulated by our osmolality such as Sodium (Na+) to name one, any imbalance in water will directly affect sodium's balance. What really results on the physiological level is called hypernatremia (excess sodium in the blood). Normal sodium balance in the blood is 135-145 so any increase in water loss will cause that number to rise. On the contrast, any increase in water reabsorption will cause that number to go down. So the affects are hypernatremia/dehydration secondary to alcohol intoxication

Answer 2

Excess alcohol consumption can lead to decreased secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), resulting in increased urine production. This can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances in the body, as well as potentially impairing the body's ability to regulate fluid balance.
