Alcohol increases the urge to urinate. There has been a significant debate as to its diuretic effect. A study indicates that alcohol consumption in comparison with water, can only slightly increase urinary output. [10] However, it does affect the urine concentrating hormone, ADH. Decrease in anti-diuretic hormone secretion lead to increase in urine volume. Alcohol can also serve as a predisposing factor to vomit, as binge-drinking can cause gastrointestinal upset and makes you throw up. However, drinking within constraints does not significantly increase dehydration risk.
