IIRC, drinking too much alcohol causes dehydration, and if you drink
two large glasses of water before going to sleep, you'll be less
likely to wake up with a hangover.
I confess that I have not done much research into this subject, and
I don't think I've ever had a hangover, so I am not the expert that
Rain is.
