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 intensity of colour is a good indicator of the concentration of the urine. If you drink plenty, you will produce dilute, light coloured urine.

Alcohol acts as a diuretic, and causes your body to excessively remove water, making you go to the toilet more. This results in dilute urine, however it also dehydrates the body. Your urine the following morning will likely be darker than normal as a consequence.
