B)alcohol can disrupt the release of ADH.
C)alcohol increases the release of ADH.
D)alcohol disrupts the function of the thalamus.
E)alcohol disrupts the function of RAAS.

Accepted Answer

Alcohol can disrupt the release of ADH (antidiuretic hormone), which is responsible for regulating water balance and preventing excessive urination. This can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. By drinking 2 glasses of water for every alcoholic beverage consumed, you can help counteract this effect and maintain adequate hydration. Option A refers to the release of aldosterone, which is a hormone involved in sodium and water regulation but is not directly relevant to drinking alcohol. Option C incorrectly states that alcohol increases the release of ADH. Options D and E refer to brain and hormonal pathways that are not directly related to the effects of alcohol on hydration.
