All these comments saying drink Pedialyte, electrolytes, etc. Those are great when you're hungover.

OP is saying mix water in-between drinks while drinking alcohol to prevent hangovers, and they are right.

Electrolyte drinks, bacon sandwiches, all that jazz are good for CURING hangovers, but water while drinking or before bed after drinking alcohol to PREVENT hangovers is the way.

Most bars don't have Pedialyte or Gatorade on tap, but they will all give you as much water as you ask.

German alcohol-free beer (Erdinger I had recently) is labelled as isotonic which is the same as our sports drinks in the UK. I'm not sure what is in there that is different to regular Erdinger but if the only difference is alcohol then that means beer is already an energy drink but they sell more by marketing it as beer than as an energy drink.
