I didn't drink anything but will probably go out for a few sometime this week when it's less busy. Still I don't really get hangovers. Probably because I keep hydrated.
IIRC dehydration isn't the main cause of hangovers. It has to do with inflammation. Supposedly taking an Ibuprofen before going to sleep helps prevent or mitigate a hangover.
... I looked this up on Christmas because I knew I would be drinking a lot.
You are both right, and wrong. There are more than 20 factors in an alcohol related "hangover."
Dehydration is one of them. Damage of stomach lining is one of them. Accute alcohol withdrawal is one of them. Impurities in alcohol is one of them. Your liver being overloaded with more alcohol than it can process is one of them (and the resulting byproduct of the liver's filtration.) There's more, also.
Ever since the day you left, my fate's been set unknown... How many years to walk this path alone?
[...] So why'd you close your eyes... why can't I shut mine?
