That's what I've heard at least, and it makes sense. The body needs water to process alcohol, as well as sugar and the other preservatives, so it's a more severe hangover as the body tries to process and get rid of it.
Hydration is key. Glass of wine, glass of water, rinse and repeat. I've also heard to avoid a severe hangover to drink those hydralyte sachets before going out. I've never tried it, but my alcoholic mates swear by it ๐
