Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland
The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that controls and influences many automatic functions of the brain through actions on the medulla, and coordinates many chemical or endocrine functions (secretions of sex, thyroid and growth hormones) through chemical and nerve impulse actions on the pituitary gland. Alcohol has two noticeable effects on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which influence sexual behavior and urinary excretion.
Alcohol depresses the nerve centers in the hypothalamus that control sexual arousal and performance. As BAC increases, sexual behavior increases, but sexual performance declines. This observation has been known for a long time, and is referred to by William Shakespeare in “Macbeth” (Act 2 scene 3):
Macduff
Porter
The porter in the above excerpt also notes the effect of alcohol on urine excretion. Alcohol inhibits the pituitary secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which acts on the kidney to reabsorb water. Alcohol acts on the hypothalamus/pituitary to reduce the circulating levels of ADH. When ADH levels drop, the kidneys do not reabsorb as much water; consequently, the kidneys produce more urine.

Last week we partnered with @wineaustralia in welcoming the Chufei Churan twins from China to Australia, where they sampled and promoted our wines, whilst live-streaming the whole trip to millions of their followers on @AlibabaGroup‘s @TmallChina #jacobscreek #wineaustralia

Hoy hemos estado catando un vino elaborado por Jordi y Amalia en la planta de microvinificaciones de la variedad Moscatel rosado. Es una variedad ancestral de los países mediterráneos. El vino está excelente!!
