Does water help, when you are drunk, or does it make it worse?

Yes, water helps a lot. Here's why . . .\n\nalcohol causes you to dehydrate. When you start drinking, you notice you have to urinate a lot. That is your body reacting to the alcohol: it is so toxic to your body that your body sacrifices its water stores to get rid of it.\n\nThis results in dehydration, which in turn causes a hangover.\n\nSo, when you want to drink, then yes, drink plenty of water. You won't get as drunk and you won't be as hungover the next day.\n\nI guess that regulating the amount you drink is the best answer, but that asides, hydrate yourself.

No..Very hard to drink too much water.You need so much.60% of your body weight is water.\nWater Intoxication  only occurs if your fluid balance is upset by kidney or elecctolyte malfunction;or if you are a small baby who is being fed water instead of milk.\nAs a healthy adult,you need 2500mls of water daily.Usually drinking provides 1500mls of this,food gives 800mls and the metabolism produces amother 200mls. \nA useful rule of thumb is,drink whenever you are thirsty,after each meal and an extra glass before bedtime.

Maybe you are allergic to the ingredients in alcohol or it could be that your body is holding in water due to the alcohol.

It will help you get the better job that it will help you lose.\n\nThere was a study recently suggesting that people who drink have better employment positions. That supposition can be only associated to the socializing aspects of the people who drink. \nThere have been for years what were called the "Power Brunch" in which you could mix with executives have a few drinks and BS your way to a better position if you could impress one of the executives. \nThe bottom line however is that drinking can ultimately have an adverse affect not only on your health but every aspect of your life. The effects of alcohol are insidious and devastating. Do some research!

Water is the only true cure for a hangover as a hangover is nothing more than your body being severly dehyrated from the alcohol.

I was so bad of an alcoholic that I was put on antabuse to prevent me from drinking. I haven't drank in 4 years. Yes, it is tough. Yes you will feel so thirsty that you feel parched. Yes, it will even be tougher than I am telling you. But all of the sudden, one day, you will get up and the sun will actually fell warm and look wonderful again. The smell of familiar things will make you want to cry again for the love of it not the pain. It does not sound silly. Your wine has been your friend and your comfort. But it has become your enemy now and you have to tell yourself that. Go to alcoholics anonymous and get a sponsor. Someone you can talk to. To relate with. That really helps. And guess what?? After a few years you can have a drink. Just know that when you do, you will drink until drunk and plan for it. I can drink now and control it instead of it controlling me. Because it was my best friend and your sickness knows you better than anyone. Call AA tonite.

Yes, I do - friends took me out drinking. Ended up drinking way too much - 21 shots of random stuff. Got home, alternated between passing out and vomiting for 3 days. I really do not recommend this as a way of celebrating your 21st birthday. I think I was pretty lucky I was vomiting or I could have easily died of alcohol poisoning.

The alcohol actually messes with your brain chemistry. It slows the reuptake of seratonin, for one, making you "happy" and "relaxed". It also affects the areas of the brain that control thought, reflexes, and all senses except hearing. Once your kidneys filter it out of your blood stream, you return to "normal".

Part of the reason alcohol gives hangovers is that it dehydrates the body.  Be sure to drink a lot of water.

There is probably a better way to deal with stress than getting drunk. Depending on what you like to do...sometimes exercise, journaling, eating a pint of your favorite ice cream, or just whatever will help you relax. Don't add to a bad week by making your body feel bad too.

Drink as much water as your body can hold.  Water along with your alcoholic drinks is also a great way to avoid a hangover or lessen its effects.

Alcohol can lower inhibitions, so I guess for some people that means bringing out their true nature.  Some people just use being drunk as an excuse to be a jerk or have sex or whatever.

neither one of you should be drinking.Being drunk is just an excuse for acting stupid.You need to work out your feelings about what happened or you may explode one of these days.

It's like this my good friend, when you drink, don't over do it you know what your limit is so take it easy, the throwing up thing means you are dead drunk but I know you know that so keep it to a minimum, or if you can't at least drink at a slow pace. Or you can take in about a jigger of olive oil before drinking and don't eat too much bar chow while you are at it, if you plan to really drink hard. And after that drinking spree may I recommend a bottle of Gatorade before sleeping to prevent hangover OK.
