Can you cure a hangover by drinking more alcohol?

No, drinking more alcohol is not an effective way to cure a hangover.

Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not a cure for hangovers. In fact, drinking more alcohol can actually make a hangover worse. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it dehydrates the body. Dehydration is one of the main causes of hangover symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and nausea. Drinking more alcohol will only worsen dehydration, and prolong the symptoms of a hangover.

The most effective way to cure a hangover is to rehydrate the body with water and electrolytes, get plenty of rest, and eat nutrient-dense foods. Some people find relief from over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, but it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a doctor if you have any health conditions or are taking any medications.
