I was just curious as to why drinking alcohol makes you pee more? I know that when I'm at the bar or club, I go to the restoom at least 5 times! Just wondering :)

alcohol is a diuretic and actually causes dehydration even though you are drinking. it takes out more water from your body than you are putting in from drinking the beer....same thing with coffee.
only have one or two drinks a night and you will be fine, just don't get in the habit of pounding down too many or you can end up damaging your kidneys, especially if you don't drink enough water during and afterwords.

Because alcohol has to be filtered and water does not so your bladder works 3 times faster and causes you to pee 6 times more.

Alcohol is not good for you, if you did not already know that, if you drink too much alcohol you can die of alcohol poisoning, if too much alcohol gets into your bloodstream. so your kidneys work overtime and try to dispose of alcohol quick and drink water in between your drinks it works much better and you won't have hangover in morning but then people will think you on E.

Probably because youre drinking more. If you drank that much water or milk or juice, at one time, you would still pee more. Your body can only hold so much.

I'm not a big drinker, got over it many years ago. But, I think alcohol dehydrates you. It pulls fluid from your tissues and muscles. That is my guesstimate.

i believe there is something in the alcohol that causes you to have the need to pee.
