Alcohol puts stress on the kidneys in three ways: it is a diuretic, which can cause dehydration and possible kidney problems, including stones, and it affects the function of the liver, which also puts systems "downstream" at stress. Finally, alcohol is literally a poison, affecting every cell in the body. When one only has one organ and is looking at a (possible) transplant or dialysis if it fails, drinking seems a poor option.
Drinking alcohol is damaging your kidneys by being an unknown chemical entering your body. Because alcohol tempers with the brain's functions, it causes organs to go haywire and malfunction. As your kidneys malfunction, it causes them to either work to the edge or even over their limit and can even shut down. As they restart all the bad chemicals (including the alcohol) show up at once and cause your kidneys to over work therefore damaging the tissue and finally as one would say killing them.
Drinking alcohol actually has a negative effect on the emergence of kidney cancer. Moderate alcohol consumption has been shown through countless studies that it can reduce the chances of getting kidney cancer. One prominent study was in Sweden where 55,000 women who drank moderately were shown to have a reduced number of kidney cancer patients than the normal population.

That applies to hot weather, exercise, and also to drinking. One should drink plenty of water along with whatever alcoholic beverage they choose.So there are the facts.

Alcohol is a neurotoxin, and at elevated levels it suppresses the central nervous system and causes vital functions to shut down. Alcohol poisoning is caused by drinking alcohol faster than the body can eliminate it, causing it to build up in the body fluids. Generally speaking, one has to drink not only quickly, but in large amounts. Anything like normal drinking is unlikely to induce it. However, doing shots or chugging repeatedly can be dangerous. Trying to show how much you can drink is never a good idea.
