    Without a doubt, but if “I’m having to pee all the time” is your only symptom, I’d worry about a dozen other things before straight blaming alcohol intake (provided you are not constantly intoxicated as alcohol is a diuretic). Do not get me wrong, if you think you are drinking too much you almost certainly are, but alcohol abuse disorder should show up in a ton of places before getting to kidney damage levels. In fact, the opposite is significantly more worrisome: If you drink too much and have a sudden reduction in amount of urine, that’s the big alarm bells for Acute Kidney Injury.

    Your liver isn’t what makes you urinate, mate. That’d be the kidneys, and saying “If you’re peeing too much, just drink less alcohol” rather than “go get a checkup and make sure you’re not developing diabetes like 1/3 American adults is… Not as helpful as you think it is.
