Why do we feel so thirsty after consuming too much alcohol????!


Question: Alcohol makes the kidneys stop absorbing water. When the kidneys do not reabsorb as much water as needed; consequently, the kidneys produce more urine. When you dispose of that urine your body feels as if it were dehydrated, because of the sudden loss of water in all of your urine. Which is why you pee a lot after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol, and because of that u feel thirsty.

hope i helped

Alcohol is a diuretic (Makes you pee)....you get dehydrated and thus Thirsty....Ta Da!!!

Because alcohol naturally dehydrates you.

dehydration

Alcohol has been known to mitigate the production of the ADH (antidiuretic hormone), which is a hormone that acts on the kidney, favoring water reabsorption in the kidneys during filtration. This occurs because alcohol confuses osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which relay osmotic pressure information to the posterior pituitary, the site of ADH release. Alcohol makes the osmoreceptors signal as if there was a too low osmotic pressure in the blood, which triggers an inhibition of ADH. Consequently, one's kidneys are no longer able to reabsorb as much water as they should be absorbing, leading to creation of excessive volumes of urine and subsequently overall dehydration.

The human body is comprised of about 70% water. Next to air, water is the most vital substance our systems need to function properly. Water is involved in every aspect of the body’s functions, including digestion and excretion and absorption of vital nutrients. It is responsible for maintaining normal temperature, a normal acid/alkali environment and carrying waste material from the body. The human body can survive for five weeks without food, but only five days without water.

Many of us no longer experience the urge to drink, making water consumption feel like a chore. If you no longer get thirsty, this is the most important time to hydrate. A lack of the thirst sensation is an indication that the body has adapted to its state of dehydration and no longer tells the brain to trigger the thirst signal. Once you begin to hydrate yourself with water on a daily basis, you will find your thirst sensation is quickly restored and drinking water will become part of your normal routine.

the body works harder to flush the alcohol out of the system so in turn you need to drink more water to replenish

Alcohal dehydrates your body.

Alcohol is more readily absorbed by the cell-membranes shifting aside and inhibiting normal hydration balance causing cellular level dehydration.

it affects the part of the brain responsible for thirst.

because you wee all ur water out. so you need to put it back in to you

You get dehydrated.

Alcohol dehydrates you
