How does alcoholism affect my kidneys?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Alcohol and Kidneys: Interesting, alcohol can adversely effect every organ in the body except one, you guessed it, the kidneys. Alcohol has no adverse effects on one's kidneys. It does decrease something called anti-diuretic hormone and as a consequence, increases urination.
