The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
alcohol can increase the rate at which the body excretes magnesium uh despite normal absorption rates in the gut because it acts like a diuretic so it leads to increase urine production and then losses of magnesium through urine so this diuretic effect contributes to a higher rate of magnesium being filtered out by the kidneys and expelled in urine rather than being absorbed and used in the body
there's certain health conditions and lifestyle choices that can enle that can lead to increased magnesium excretion so for example diabetes leads to this as well as alcohol consumption
which is something I mentioned that alcohol also does just from that stress response from the the very loud noise exposure
alcohol consumption also increases magnesium excretion in a dose dependent manner with chronic heavy alcohol intake increasing excretion up to 2 to threefold
