Alcohol do decrease the release of Antidiuretic hormone. Its absorption is also slowed down by amount of food in stomach.

Option A and D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Alcohol is very much related with decreasing effect on pituitary gland to release the Anti Diuretic Hormone or ADH which is actually responsible for the reabsorption of water through kidneys. So consumption of alcohol may make a person dehydrated.
