Several reasons

1. Diuretic effects of alcohol. Since alcohol (ethanol) is a very powerful diuretic it can lead to body dehydration. It does this by being very hygroscopic (water loving) and binds the water. It in much the same respect draws water out of the cells. Much of this occurs over time and is in large amounts and so the fastest and easiest way to purge the water is the ole "wind pipe."

2. Alcohol kills micro-bio flora (friendly bacteria) in our intestines. These contain alot of water which is released. Think of a hill that loses it's plants and no longer holds the water = Mud Slide. LOL

3. Body is purging itself of dead cells (bacteria) from the intestines.

4. The body loses much of it's electrolytes that are used in neuron signaling. Unable to do this effectively the muscles relax and release. especilly Ca++

5. Some authorities believe it to be the bodies way of cleansing itself. Which is related to the above.

Happy trails
