When a person has a few drinks containing alcohol, they often feel the need to urinate. This response suggests interplay between alcohol and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Which of the following could explain how alcohol and ADH interact? (note: ADH causes a decrease in urine production) a. Alcohol inhibits the binding of ADH to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.

b. Alcohol decreases the release of ADH.

c. Alcohol facilitates the binding of ADH to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.

d. Alcohol increases the release of ADH.

Answer: The way alcohol and ADH interact is:

a. Alcohol inhibits the binding of ADH to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.

Explanation: The alcohol make the nerve cells less excited and it reduces or slow down the brain activities, which would make sure that the ADH is not secreted to decrease the release of urine. Hereby increasing the number of times the person would urinate.
