Many answers here are missing out the fact that alcohol is a diuretic. “Drinking it can make you pee more than if you had the same amount of water.”

This is because alcohol suppresses the action of a hormone that tells your kidney to hold onto more water. When the hormone is suppressed, more water is released by the kidneys, which can have a dehydrating effect.
