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 science of why alcohol makes you pee more 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-3: -Alcohol is thought to produce more dilute urine by inhibiting the release of ADH. This causes the collecting ducts to be more impermeable to water, so less water can be reabsorbed and more is excreted in the urine.
