No. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the muscles. Drinking alcohol whilst dehydrated will not cause muscular dystrophy.
However, if you are dehydrated and drink alcohol, it will further dehydrate you and can lead to other health problems. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it makes you urinate more frequently. This can lead to dehydration, which can be dangerous if left untreated.
