Is the yellow coloration in urine indicative of toxins being washed out of our bodies?

If so, why is it that I always pee clear when I’m drinking alcohol? Am I harboring the toxins? Tldr why is good pee yellow tinted, but bad pee is either dark yellow or clear?

The lighter your urine is, the more dilute it is. Light urine contains more water than dark. This is why dark urine generally means you’re dehydrated.

When you drink alcohol, your body wants to eliminate it, so it secretes more water.

The yellow color comes from a chemical called urochrome. But the intensity is just about water content.
