Answer:Reduction in ADH

Explanation:

When alcohol is consumed, it moves through the body and gets processed in different stages. Alcohol affects five centers of the brain in this order; cerebral cortex, limbic system, cerebellum, hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the medulla.

The pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which makes the kidney reabsorb water. But when alcohol is present in the system, it hinders the pituitary secretion of ADH, which causes the reduction in ADH and then in turn the kidney does not reabsorb the water, thus more urine is produced by the kidney.

Bile salts help to continue digestion of fats by attaching to small fat droplets, preventing them from coalescing into larger droplets, thereby increasing their surface area so that they can be further broken down by lipase enzymes.
