I'm confused. One friend told me it's not a good idea to get drunk and then drink water, but someone else told me it's perfectly fine... help a confused college student out 
Is drinking water bad after getting wasted?

You should totally drink LOTS AND LOTS of water after a night of drinking. Actually, during the night of drinking it's good, too. Alcohol will dehydrate you and the water will rehydrate you. It will also prevent hangovers.
alcohol is a diuretic. if you ever look at alcoholics, their eyes are a bit sunken. that's what I think causes the hangovers. if you drink lots, pee lots that night, next morning, you will have a hangover. if you rehydrate yourself, or don't pee (your choice), then you should be feeling alot better in the morning.
ya when i go to parties i always either have someone go get me some water or try not to drink too much and laugh at the other people who are getting drunk.

Yes you should drink plenty of water. On occasion when I've consumed too much alcohol and wake up feeling sick, I drink about 5 glasses of water and it makes me feel a lot better.

Did you ever get *wasted* before?
You seem to be referring to something else. Actually, if you've ever gotten WASTED before, as in, you're so drunk that you can't walk straight and you're totally out of it, then you SHOULD NOT drink water. I did that on two occasions and I finally learned my lesson. By constantly drinking water throughout the night, you will wake up feeling like total crap. Your stomach will constantly make bubbly noises and you will feel it in your chest and throat. The feeling is as if your body is consumed with water up to your neck.. its a weird and bad feeling. I was told the best solution is not drining pure water but rather BEER... so by morning you wont feel the watery feeling. TRUST ME IF YOU REALLY GET WASTED [not just drunk] THEN WATER IS BBBBBBAAADDDD
physiologically speaking etoh will completely dehydrate you, so drinking water is not a bad idea.........
if you're wasted and drink lots of water the only problem is that you will wake up adn find out you pissed all over yourself...
but water won't hurt you!

Anybody have any hard data on what the ratios should actually be? For instance, seven beers will dehydrate you so much that you'll need X ounces of water to rehydrate you? I guess this would have to be indexed to body-mass, but it would be helpful to know...
... not that if you're really F'ed up one will remember these numbers, but there's a fighting chance -- and surely drinking so much water that one pisses in one's pants is overkill...

I've been trashed many times before and always drink at least 2 tall glasses of icewater before I leave the bar. I have never had your problems before. Maybe it is what you drink, because I usually only have 1 or 2 beers and the rest mixed drinks and such.

I prefer to drink a lot of water the morning after. I don't know about the rest of you guys and gals, but when I'm roaring drunk, the furthest thing from my mind is drinking water, I usually stumble off to bed in an incoherent state. Well, I don't do that much anymore, but quite frequently when I was a teenager.
I always drink tons of water the day after. Make sure you drink water during the day if you know you are gonna go drinking that night. I rarely get hangovers. Also dont mix drinks! Try and stay with one kind, otherwise you will meet mr Ralph.
Ever gotten to the point where you get so f*cked up you can't even keep water down the next morning? It got to be pretty regular with me, and it's one of the reasons I don't drink anymore.......
Drinking a couple of tall glasses of ice cold water will definitely go a long way in helping you to recover from the dehydrating effects of overdoing it though. -kd5-

My drunkin nights usually consist of a bit of Hennessy and the rest are vodka shots.
When I attend restaurant parties, and they have bars, I always start off with a couple of Sex on the Beach(es), maybe one bloody mary, and the rest of the night consists of VODKA... ofcourse, after 2-3 hours of drinking i'm wasted as fvck...
I don't mean that drinking water while drinking alcohol is bad, thats a must... but once your home and you're all dehydrated, it is not a good idea to constantly refill on water, cuz' you'll wake up feeling sh!tty [not to mention wetting the bed]... its a good idea to drink some water before you fall asleep, and wake up in the middle of night or early early morning and have yourself a beer. One or two hours later you should be feeling semi-OK without the nasty hangovers.
Interesting n0b1e....can't argue with your experience, if that's how it's been for you that's how it's been....
But Hangovers are caused by dehydration. I've never had a hangover in my life, and I'll drink a 26er in 3 hours. I make sure to drink a lot of water over the course of the night, and several right before I go to bed. I wake up feeling perfectly fine every time.
That's how my sister (bartender) and my buddy erron (also a bartender and he parties at least 4 times a week every week) told me to do it to...Erron is also very rarely hung over, and he'll down a 40 in a night (crazy metabolism).

I think that getting wasted is worse for your health than drinking water.

In fact, the best thing to do is drink a tall glass of water before you go to sleep. Your body is taking all the fluid it can spare to wash out the toxins you filled your body up with. If you've ever been severely dehydrated before (I have), you'll notice that it feels quite a bit like a hangover.
And holding your pee does nothing to help stop dehydration. Once the fluid is in your bladder, it can not be reclaimed by the body.
Drinking water after getting drunk is NEVER bad. It may be distasteful to you psychologically, or it may bother you if your stomach is upset, but it's GOOD for you physically. Your intense headache and general malaise associated with a hangover is caused primarily by dehydration.
I'm 34, and did a stint in the army. My hard drinking days are behind me, but I had ten plus years of hard partying to figure this stuff out. Trust me, drinking a big glass of water or two before bed eases your hangover the next day. If it bothers your stomach, take a couple of tums with it.
You may not think you'll remember, but a couple of bad hangovers teach you a lesson no amount of alcohol can make you forget.
And just wait, guys, hangovers get worse the older you get. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I could drink all night, and jump up outta bed to go to work or in the field (when I was in the army) the next morning with little more than a nagging headache. If I try drinking all night now, it puts me in bed for most of the following day.
Heh, one long night in Las Vegas this past August reminded me of this. I had free beers from 10PM until 5AM while I was going from casino to casino. I must have had about 18 to 20 beers that night. Needless to say, the next day was a total waste. Fifteen years ago, I'd would have been able to jump up uot of bed after four or five hours sleep, and function.
What a drag it is getting old...
