Hangovers are just dehydration.

The hangover is from dehydration and your sugar crashing.

Hangovers are the result of ethanol being converted to acetaldehyde, which builds up and produces the typical hangover symptoms.

Now, dehydration can amplify the symptoms but nobody ever avoided a hangover by simply chugging water/Gatorade before/after drinking.

The only way to avoid a hangover is to avoid drinking too much (varies from person to person). Everything else is placebo/wives tales.
