Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Alcohol is a diuretic. Which hormone would counter alcohol’s effect?
A
aldosterone
B
calcitonin
C
ADH
D
ACTH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The only way to avoid the diuretic effect of alcohol is not to drink any at all. So to avoid having to pee so frequently, limit the amount of alcohol you drink. And to avoid becoming dehydrated, make sure you replace lost fluids with water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The job of ADH is to stop you urinating, so you hang on to your precious water. You reduce your normal rate of making urine. Alcohol does the opposite. It reduces how much ADH you make, so it increases how much urine you produce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chronic alcohol exposure, in contrast, induces a decrease in LHRH, LH, testosterone, and progesterone and an increase in estradiol and FSH. These alcohol-induced hormonal dysregulations cause a multitude of reproductive disorders, such as menstrual cycle irregularity, decreased fertility, and hypogonadism.
