not exactly, consuming alcohol tricks your body into thinking that you have to use the bathroom more often than you actually have too.

so by going to the bathroom more often then you are losing alot more of your body fluids. which causes you to be dehydrated.

so its not the alcohol itself that will dehydrate you.

hope that helped :)
