Consumption of beer (correlated for weight to reach a blood alcohol concentration of 0.8) during 1 hour. Continues measurement of sodium, osmolality, copeptin, urinary sodium, urinary osmolality over 12 hours.
Consumption of beer and additional water (correlated for weight to reach a blood alcohol concentration of 0.8, 1/3 of water, 2/3 of beer) during 1 hour. Continues measurement of sodium, osmolality, copeptin, urinary sodium, urinary osmolality over 12 hours.
Consumption of beer and additional stock(correlated for weight to reach a blood alcohol concentration of 0.8, 1/3 of stock, 2/3 of beer) during 1 hour. Continues measurement of sodium, osmolality, copeptin, urinary sodium, urinary osmolality over 12 hours.
