The correct answers are 2&3

Excess alcohol consumption can cause dehydration in a variety of ways. Firstly,alcohol decreases the body's production of anti-diuretic hormone, which is used by the body to reabsorb water. With less anti-diuretic hormone available, your body loses more fluid than normal through increased urination.

Water has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or a cold environment. Water enables the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature. When we begin to sweat, and the evaporation of water from the skin surface cools the body very efficiently.1.
