Simply drinking more water while consuming alcohol may help by adding a greater net intake volume of fluid to be drawn from to retain. But it doesn't alter the fact that alcohol simply blocks the hormone responsible for telling your kidneys not to dump the fluid which you need.
Ever wondered why a night of drinking leaves you feeling parched? In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, Todd Crafter, an Aussie with a knack for turning complex science into digestible insights, unpacks the relationship between alcohol and dehydration. Todd, a passionate advocate for sobriety and a content creator for Sobertown, dives deep into how alcohol messes with your body's fluid balance.
He explains the role of the kidneys and the anti-diuretic hormone, shedding light on why that 'breaking the seal' myth is just that—a myth. Todd’s engaging breakdown not only clarifies how alcohol dehydrates you but also emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated, especially if you're on a recovery journey. His blend of research and real-world application makes this episode a must-listen for anyone keen on understanding the nitty-gritty of how alcohol affects their body.
Whether you're newly sober or supporting someone who is, Todd's insights offer valuable knowledge to help you make healthier choices. Tune in and let Todd guide you through the science behind why your body feels the way it does after drinking.
