text: does drinking more alcohol the next day help with hangovers?   nope. the only way to ease hangovers is drink a glass or two of water before you go bed after a night of drinking, and take two tylenol. alcohol pulls the water out of your system (basically dehydrates you), and it's the lack of water that gives you a hangover. if you put water back into your body before you go to bed you won't get a hangover. since i found this out, i haven't had a hangover in four years.
