A member asked:
If i only drink beer for 3 days will i die from dehydration? will i get kidney failure.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: In theory, there is enough water in beer that some level of intake for 3 days would meet your fluid needs without permanent harm.However, the margin of error is narrow.Alcohol interferes with the bodies safety system that reclaims water from the kidneys, and at some level you would pee out more water than that contained by the beer.Dangerous but not always fatal.
