Drinking alcohol makes you urinate more frequently because a. alcohol inhibits the release of ADH, a hormone that increases water reabsorption in the kidneys. b. alcohol inhibits the release of $\mathrm{ADH}$, a hormone that decreases water reabsorption in the kidneys. c. alcohol causes more water to filter from the blood into the kidneys.
Explain why drinking alcohol often results in dehydration. a. Drinking alcohol reduces antidiuretic hormone production, which is a hormone that helps retain water. b. Drinking alcohol increases antidiuretic hormone production, which is a hormone that helps with water loss. c. Drinking alcohol reduces thyroid stimulating hormone production, which is a hormone that helps retain water. d. Drinking alcohol increases thyroid stimulating hormone production, which is a hormone that helps with water loss.
