Edit: I drink water regularly through the day, wasn’t allowed to add that in the title otherwise it would’ve been removed.

It’s not if you’re drinking enough water. If your piss is yellow or orange you’re probably dehydrated. Apart from that, alcohol is a diuretic, so it flushes water out of your system… but on top of that when you’re drinking alcohol you’re probably drinking more fluid than normal, and that will have water in – e.g. if you’re drinking gin and tonic the alcohol is flushing out the water in your system and the tonic is topping it up.
