how does alcohol dehydrate a person? Is it through the actual act of drinking or that it makes you urinate more and you don’t replenish with water?
In: Biology
Alcohol is a diuretic which causes your kidneys to pull more water from your body and produce more urine. If all you drink is alcoholic beverages you are not replacing the water you are losing, which can lead to dehydration and hangovers. Best advice, for every drink you have, drink a glass of water.
