Actually that’s a bit of an oversimplification of the process. It doesn’t
really matter in what form we ingest (liquid or solid) it all takes the same
path, though the gastro intestinal tract. Alcohol, Tylenol, metformin, etc.
all end up in the blood stream. The liver and kidney’s both process what’s
in the blood, but have different jobs to do. The kidneys don’t "send"
anything to the liver, nor does the liver "send" anything back to the
kidneys. They are both part of the whole system. It’s all about the blood.

Hi Jodie,

The liver processes toxins to the body, hence the liver is impacted by a
lot of drugs (like tylenol, ibuprophen, metformin and the like).

The kidneys process liquids. The alcohol in liquor, beer or wine is a
poison to the human body in large quantities. The liver handles the small
amounts or larger amounts that we injest. Because the liver handles the
toxic substance of alcohol we can develop a scarred (cirrotic) liver from
it - or from other chemicals.

So, we drink, the kidneys filter and send the toxins to the liver to be
processed and gather in all the other debris from the blood, add it to the
water and send it to the bladder. Or at least that is what I remember from
my human physiology and anatomy classes some years ago.
Insofar as I am aware byetta has no particular effect regarding the body’s
processing of water (which is the basis for all the liquids we drink).

I drink tea, a cup of coffee now and then, water, and some diet
soft-drinks. I have a hunch that plenty of liquids which are not
dehydrating (which coffee is) keep the water volume in the blood up so that
the concentration is less and the BG is lower.

Cheers!
Marsha
