Answer to Question 1

Alcohol and Urine Output
Although some people believe it is simply due to the amount of extra liquid they are ingesting, excessive urination when drinking alcohol really has more to do with the alcohol itself. In fact, an ounce of hard liquor will hypothetically cause the same amount of urination as a 12-ounce beer. Alcohol blocks the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which is secreted from the pituitary gland and is responsible for regulating urine production. ADH works by causing the kidneys to conserve fluids. Thus, when this hormone is blocked, urine output increases considerably because the kidneys are not properly absorbing fluids. This leads to significant loss of water and eventually to dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

A
