Alcohol and nutrition

Why do I get insanely thirsty after drinking alcohol?

Because alcohol basically messes with the hormone that helps your body hold onto water (vasopressin). So you pee more, lose fluids + electrolytes, and your body goes: “Hey, hydrate me!” 😅

How to make it easier:

  • 💧 Drink water between drinks: “1 alcoholic drink = 1 glass of water.”
  • 🧂 Add electrolytes: mineral water, a low-sugar electrolyte drink, or water + a tiny pinch of salt + lemon.
  • 🍲 Eat something: protein + a lightly salty snack helps (but don’t go super salty).
  • ☕️ Coffee the next morning isn’t a magic fix—it can make dehydration worse for some people.

How to use our app (if it tracks this):

  • Log your drinks—then check the suggested water goal and try to hit it.
  • Turn on water reminders for the evening and the next morning.
  • Use the daily stats to see water/electrolytes and top up slowly throughout the day ✅
