a hangover is mainly dehydration... it's not withdrawal.

Might wanna do some research into that, that has been disproven many times.

i used to do my own regular experiments... I haven't been all shit-faced wasted in quite a long time, but I found that even at my drunkest I'd be fine the next day as long as I chugged a bunch of gatorade before bed. (so maybe the electrolytes are necessary too and it's not purely a hydration factor)

on the marathon drinking days I found that if I had a full glass of water after every 2 beers I could pretty much drink all day/night and not feel bad the next day (10 years ago I might put down a full 30-pack of watered down american beer on a saturday... today a marathon drinking day would be a 6-pack for me, so I'm out of practice.

No, but the dehydration makes it worse. If you slam a bunch of water before going to bed drunk, you will still have a hangover, but it won't be as bad.
