Stop dehydration and you will lessen the effects of a hangover. Make sure you drink plenty of water before you drink alcohol, while drinking alcohol and before you go to bed at night. A good rule of thumb is a glass of water for every drink of alcohol. The more water you drink and the better hydrated your body is and the less a hangover will affect you.
