Alcohol is a diuretic and inhibits the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which normally helps the body reabsorb water and reduces urine output. When ADH is inhibited, the body produces more urine, leading to dehydration. Therefore, drinking a beer while already dehydrated can worsen the situation and cause additional dehydration.
