So, does water help a hangover? Yes, but it’s not a cure. It’s the absolute bare minimum you should do, like putting on pants before leaving the house. It’s the foundation, not the house.
Pair it with some electrolytes, a banana, and a good amount of self-loathing for making the same mistake again. Oh, and time. Time is the only real cure. Water just makes the wait more bearable.
Now go fill your glass. And maybe invest in a water bottle you can take to the couch. Your future, hungover self will thank you—probably with a grunt, but still.
