== Overview ==
==[[Beer potomania classification|Classification]]==
This is a syndrome of binge drinking, poor nutritional intake, and profound [[hyponatremia]].


== Pathophysiology & Etiology==
==[[Beer potomania pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
[[Hyponatremia]] is due to a large consumption of beer (which has a poor salt content) together with a minimal intake of ordinary food. A diet poor in salt and protein compounds (i.e. urea precursors) results in reduced excretion of urinary solutes, which limits the ability to excrete free water

=== Differential Diagnosis ===

==== Electrolyte and Biomarker Studies ====
==[[Beer potomania epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
A value of Uosm < 100 mOsm/kg is indicative of a complete and appropriate suppression of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, a finding seen with either primary polydipsia (including ‘beer potomania’) or reset osmostat.
Criteria used to diagnose the ‘beer potomania’ syndrome include
# A history of binge beer drinking
# Poor dietary intake
# Decreased serum sodium levels
# Absence of other known causes of hyponatremia
