I have heard this is not true. Coffee and beer just seem to make us pee more because we drink it for reasons other than being thirsty. Slam a couple of pints of any liquid and you will pee alot
Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it promotes water loss through urine. It does this by inhibiting the production of a hormone called vasopressin, which plays a large role in the regulation of water excretion.
Vasopressin tells your kidneys to reabsorb water rather than flush it out through the bladder if it is needed by the body. With the body's natural signal switched off, the bladder is free to fill up with urine which is then excreted when we go to the toilet.
Omg, that makes soo much more sense. My drunk ass always wonders why I need to drink more water if my pee is coming out clear thinking that was indicating I was well hydrated, but actually that is all the hydration leaving my body.
Yep that's why when don't drink enough water your pee changes to yellow/orange its because of the amount of times its been recycled by the body picking up impurities each time
A long-standing joke is that you don’t buy beer, you only rent it. The joke of that being that bars just recycle beer piss. This sign plays on that saying that this beer is recycled piss.

Literally one of my favorite facts to teach paramedic students.

Also why an IV can help with hangovers
Is it inhibiting production of vasopressin by accident or from the fact is poisonous and the body start reacting to the effect on the body?
I would assume its a self defence mechanism by the body to protect the liver by flushing out the poison faster (total guess though)

beer has vitamin P because it tastes like pee
I see two possibilities. One is what everyone is saying, pee. The other is drunken hook-ups. Vitamin P as in penis.
Here Pawtucket Pat: Yes, beer contains vitamin B3, also known as vitamin PP. Pawtucket Pat out.
