Question about alcohol and anti-diuretics.
Everyone knows that alcohol makes you have to goto the bathroom quite often. My question is can you take an anti-diuretic to counter the diuretic effects of alcohol? I would think that this may help with dehydration because you would be retaining a lot more water. The only concern I could see is that you wouldn't excrete any alcohol through your unire although I'm not really sure how much, if any, is actually excreted in urine. I know the break down product of alcohol is excreted but is alcohol itself?
What does everyone think of this?
*NOTE: I wasn't planning on trying this, just curious.

its not the alcohol that makes you go to the bathroom, its the quantity of liquid.
if you have ten 12oz bottles of soda your gonna spend as much time pissing as if you have the ten 12oz bottles of beer.
and if you have 10 shots you probably wont even need to go to the bathroom...

Actually, alcohol blocks vasopressin from regulating the osmotic gradinet of the blood, so the alcohol content is an issue.

Alcohol DOES dehydrate you.
I wouldn't do it. The solution: don't drink so much alcohol. It's pretty simple.Founding Member and CEO of the FFFA

While the alochol obviously has an impact, its ur bladder more than anything that makes you need to go.Last edited by geoffgarcia; 08-18-2004 at 01:32 PM.

Wrong. Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics. Water is not. Originally Posted by geoffgarcia

I know you're half-crazy, but I wish you'd go all the way.
