Water you up to?: Alcohol is a diuretic-makes you lose more than you drink, with a hang-over you are in a dehydrated condition. Making you much more susceptible to forming kidney stones! drink water before alcohol. Hydrate while you are consuming alcohol- shouldn't encourage you can drink more, but should have less lifetime complications from the dehydration. Have your kidney function checked just in case.

Dehydrated: Because while you're drinking, you're depleting your sodium by peeing it all out along with fluids...Then when recovering you're rehydrating....
