The effects of ethanol on urine sodium, potassium and osmolality were investigated in rats kept in a positive water balance produced by prior consecutive water loaclings. Ethanol loacling was followed by rapid rises in urine output, sodium concentration and osmolality and a somewhat slower rise in potassium concentration. Presumably water loacling led to an increased glomerular filtration rate, which, with the inhibition of ion reabsorption caused by ethanol, was responsible for this rise.
