The hangover is one of the worst sensations we can experience. However, everyone knows it - after a long night with a lot of alcohol we feel our body as drained.
For many years, water was considered a cure for a hangover. To this day, the recommendations are to drink 1-2 glasses of water for each alcoholic beverage. The explanation is that our body becomes dehydrated due to alcohol, which further aggravates the symptoms - in the evening, but especially the next morning.
However, according to scientists, there may be a myth behind this statement. We should not drink water with alcohol, when it comes to drinks that contain it in larger quantities - that is, over 40 degrees. Instead of helping, in this case water will lead to faster intoxication.
The beer we drink after 2 large whiskeys works on a similar principle. However, this only applies to strong alcoholic beverages and means that water with beer, wine and liqueurs is highly recommended.
However, another study found that the fact that alcohol dehydrates us may be a myth. It is true that because of it the water is released faster from our body, but its amounts are insignificant and can not lead to worsening of the symptoms of a hangover, nor to special damage in our body, experts say.
And yet - the good effect that water has on the hangover is negligible. Water will not make you more sober, but it will help remove toxins from your body. They are naturally produced by the liver under the influence of alcohol.
In addition, alcohol is a diuretic, which means that it makes you go to the toilet more often, and with it you throw away water. Water will help your body maintain proper balance, will help you get lost minerals.
More importantly, however - you should not overdo it with alcohol. Because all the water in the world will not help your hangover the next day.
