Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by Shooting STELLAR Press (MISAWA): Does water do anything to counteract the effects of alcohol?
I don’t normally drink and unfortunately I apparently don’t have a good enough tolerance for alcohol which is why whenever I do have a drink I immediately down a glass of water right afterward; I have always assumed the water dilutes the alcohol somewhat.

However, very recently I heard from a friend that water doesn’t do a thing to counteract or even negate the effects of alcohol, and now I’m confused. Is water a good chaser, or not?

No this idea is just a myth. However affter a heavy night of drinking your body has lost alot of water and needs rehydrating so drinking water replaces alot of the goodness that has been lost and so will help to revive your body. so yes I guess water does affect it but not directly, just helps the symptoms of hangover.

hope this help with ur hangover lol.

I live in a place where the climate and temperature is really hot and annoying. It has not rained since 8 months ago and the climate is extremely hot and dry.

So, my question is:

What are good non alcoholic beverages (besides water) to drink in a very hot climate? Something that is refreshing and helps to get rid of thirst quickly.
