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.
Copious amounts of alcohol do break down the inner lining of the stomach, which will lead to many side effects that are also contributed to a hangover.
i could totally see that as a long-term cumulative effect... and I've been told hangovers get worse the longer one drinks... so I'm not discounting that the symptoms could point toward more significant complications in advanced alcoholics, I believe that the standard hangover experienced by the college party-kid or young-adult who over-did it is really just an example of extreme dehydration.
