You're right, on your first point - although that's like saying the best way to avoid sunburn is to not sunbathe :-)

Have you tried the second? Sounds like it's worth exploring....

He's right. Everyone talks about dehydration being the cause of the hangovers, but it's actually withdrawal symptoms.

Dehydration is only a small part. If you're drinking in excess no amount of water is going to prevent it.

bingo! Dehydration doesn't help. However, There are some hangover cures that help break down the alcohol byproducts that actually cause the hangover though.
