Jamie is dehydrated from playing a rough game of football on a hot summer afternoon. Explain why beer, an alcoholic drink, is not a good choice of beverage considering what you know about antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
What will be an ideal response?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) prevents urine production and promotes water retention by the kidneys. However, alcoholic beverages inhibit ADH secretion and result in a large output of urine. Jamie is already dehydrated and the alcoholic drink will only further enhance that dehydration.
