Dehydration
Consumption of ethanol has a rapid diuretic effect, meaning that more urine than usual is produced, since ethanol inhibits the production of antidiuretic hormone.
Overconsumption can therefore lead to dehydration (the loss of water).

Alcohol is quickly metabolized, and one of the combustion products is water. But this is less of a factor than the considerable amount of water that is mixed with drinking alcohol. Eleven ounces of a can of beer is water.
