Ethanol inhibits the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin. ADH is used to regulate tonicity of bodily fluids, so essentially the amount of salts you have flowing through your body. If your body detects that you’re running too high of a salt level, the pituitary releases it to tell the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the nephrons and put it back into circulation thus diluting the salts. So, since ethanol inhibits the function of ADH, the kidneys just discard everything and beer has a lot of water.
