I concur. Keep drinking alcohol until your brain swells and you die. Once you're dead, no more hangovers.
Drinking in the morning can make you feel better because you stop the metabolism of methanol and the formation of formaldehyde because you've got alcohol in your system again. That could help the withdrawal that you are having.
Edit: removed snide remark
And that helps the dehydration how? It doesn't. Hangovers are caused by dehydration, drinking more alcohol leads to further dehydration.

Dehydration is only one of the several causes of hangovers.

I'm quite aware of that, but it is a major cause, and by drinking more alcohol you worsen it.

I would not help her, but recommend something that will worsen it. Tell her to have coffee or caffeinated drinks. It's good for her to learn early how bad hangovers can be. It may take her 2, it may take her 20 or even 200, but eventually she'll learn her limits of drinking.

Hangovers are not caused just by dehydration but then again no one really knows why people get hangovers. The drinking of alcohol helps fight the symptoms of a hangover. I agree that water is absolutely necessary but a shot of whiskey in the morning helps quite the brain.

By the way, the whole more alcohol thing was a joke. It is actually a sign of alcoholism if you drink to rid hangovers.
