Pee colors when under the influence vs sober

425 views

I apologize in advance, but I’m writing this crossed and I didn’t want to forget my question.

Can someone please explain to me why, that when I’ve had a couple/too many drinks my pee is crystal clear, however the next morning my pee is the color of pee from the sewer combined with the ocean?

TLDR; how does hydration work?

Alcohol is a diuretic – it makes you pee. Basically your body sees getting drunk as being mildly poisoned, and works quickly to break down and flush out the alcohol. Meaning you make lots of pee, and the stuff that gives it color is very diluted, and thus it’s very clear.

Drunk people are usually bad at forward thinking, so you don’t drink enough water before bed to replace all that, so the next morning your pee has very little water, the other stuff is very concentrated, and it looks nautical. 🙂
