What happens if you drink beer every day for 30 days? | Science Explained

You drink alcohol to relax, but your kidneys react violently.

Beer creates a biological paradox: it inhibits the hormone vasopressin, forcing your body to excrete water while cells shrink in a state of "subtle drought."

This episode will reveal the silent strain on your filtration system, the immune trade-offs occurring in the gut, and the profound metabolic reset that happens after just 30 days of rest.

The issue isn't about ethics. The issue is how an ancient body can adapt to modern habits.

Topics covered:

The Paradox: Why drinking lots of fluids actually dehydrates you.

The Pressure: How "thick blood" forces the kidneys to work overtime.

The Leaked Information: The Potential Impact of Alcohol on the Gut Immune System.

Recovery Process: Biological Schedule of Recovery (0–30 days).

Biology is a dialogue. Are you listening?
