Isn't this because it dilutes the alcohol which helps your metabolism deal with it as well as taking up volume in your stomach so you physically can't take in as much alcohol?
Actually, hangovers are caused by the fact that alcohol dehydrates you, which makes all your veins shrink. Then in the morning, when your body is back to normal hydration level, your veins have reopened and all the blood is going into your head way faster than it was while drinking, causing a massive headache, light sensitivity, nausea, all that jazz. Staying hydrated while drinking means your veins don't change size and there's no huge blood rush to cause any misery. Although the second half of your question in also very correct.
Am I the only one who doesn't get hangover? I mean, I party, go to bed between 4-7 AM (sometimes blackout drunk), yet when I finally wake up (round 2PM) I'm not hangover whatsoever. I can't be the only one.
