Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Alcohol and caffeine are known to cause dehydration because they decrease the effectiveness of ____
A
Adrenaline
B
Antidiuretic Hormone
C
Thyroid Hormone
D
Insulin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Alcohol inhibits the production of ADH. When the amount of ADH is reduced, the kidneys secrete more fluid than they otherwise normally would and therefore we pee more. Coffee has the same effect on the hormone ADH as alcohol.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and liquor increase urine output and could cause dehydration if consumed in large amounts. Caffeinated energy drinks may also contain ingredients that increase urine production and contribute to dehydration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Caffeine is a diuretic This means that when you drink coffee, it causes the body to send signals to your pituitary gland that inhibits the production of the ADH hormone, which in turn causes the kidneys to not reabsorb water. This will increase the excretion of water via urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alcohol is a diuretic. It causes your body to remove fluids from your blood through your renal system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, at a much quicker rate than other liquids. If you don’t drink enough water with alcohol, you can become dehydrated quickly.
