Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As most investigators now agree, increased urine flow results from alcohol’s acute inhibition of the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), a hormone also known as vasopressin, which normally promotes the formation of concentrated urine by inducing the kidneys to conserve fluids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ADH signals your kidneys to hold on to water. By suppressing ADH, alcohol can make the kidneys release more water. This can have a dehydrating effect on your body that not only makes you pee more, but can also cause headaches and nausea later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Acute alcohol intake decreased the circulating levels of LH and testosterone as a result of diminished release of hypothalamic LHRH (Cicero et al.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it promotes water loss through urine. It does this by inhibiting the production of a hormone called vasopressin, which plays a large role in the regulation of water excretion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dopamine Release The initial euphoric effects of alcohol are a result of dopamine being released from the reward center in the brain.
