I no that alcohol acts as a diuretic and makes the drinker urinate more liquid than is taken in, but how much more liquid is given out approximately, so for example drinking 500ml of beer with 2units, how much water would the person have to drink to replace the liquid lost due to the alcohol

I'm not sure about your numbers and all that but I'm a drinker of about a 30 pack a day and have been for many years and my DR. strongly urged me to quit;and since that didn't happen he then recommended a 20 oz bottle of water before and after drinking,it has cut down on the dehydration tremendously!

If you are going to be drinking enough dehydrate your system, you should be drinking at least one glass of water for each alcoholic drink you consume. It is also important to not consume alcohol without eating, or you will become inebriated very quickly.
Dehydrated and sick are not a good combination.
