Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Doctors also call vasopressin anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). Typically, the brain signals the release of ADH in response to an increase in particles over fluids (plasma osmolality). The ADH signals your kidneys to hold on to water. By suppressing ADH, alcohol can make the kidneys release more water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alcohol acts as a diuretic by inhibiting the release of ADH. Additionally, caffeine, when consumed in high concentrations, acts as a diuretic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethanol inhibits the release of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) at an hypothalamic level.
