Alcohol is a diuretic, and will accelerate passage of fluids through the kidneys, leading to frequent urination and eventual dehydration if the fluids are not replaced with non-alcoholic ones -- preferably water. (Of course when you are urinating a lot, and drunk, it is hard to convince yourself to drink much water.) Dehydration is one of the primary causes of hangovers.
