is it true an alcohol hangover is partially a withdrawl?

obviously dehydration plays a big key...but if you get shit faced and you do drink sufficient amounts of liquid/water...and still get a hangover..could having a little alcohol when you wake up help?

Pretty sure the answer is no, but I can't give you specifics. I've been wondering what a hangover is from, I personally don't get them as long as I stay hydrated and I actually don't even know what they're like. I assume like a migraine kind of deal with a sick alcohol feeling?

^^ same here on never getting hung over... but it did happen once. I got wasted early early in my career and had to work shortly after. hung over. felt like shit. I think that staying hydrated and good sleep after has pretty much left me hangover free.

alcohol is just gross. that's why. it's only good in combo with some other REAL drug.

It's mainly just the toxins in alcohol, such as acetyldehyde.....Congeners also play a part in hangovers, which are impurities created during the fermentation process, but are usually only present in wines and dark liquor

so mainly only thing to do is stay hydrated i guess.

well putting into consideration that any drug 'hangover' is essentially caused by a lack of the drug in your system.. yeah, a hangover is indeed a mild alcohol withdrawal. the symptoms of a hangover are just mild symptoms of a hangover, greatly reduced when flushing the alcohol out of your system faster with water.
