Yes. Both water and alcohol are polar molecules, because each features a hydrogen atom directly bonded to an oxygen atom. This combination has a high electronegativity difference, which means a "hydrogen bond" will exist between the two molecules. This "bond" is actually a strong positive to negative attraction, and this attraction causes water and alcohol to effectively dissolve each other.

No, on two reasons. 1.) Your body metabolises 1 unit of alcohol an hour. 1 unit is equivalent to one measure of spirits or half a pint of beer. By the time 24 hours hours has passed, most of the alcohol will have already been metabolised in your body, unless you drank more than 24 units. 2.) Drinking water does not affect the rate of alcohol breakdown at all. The only thing it will serve to do is to reduce the risk of dehydration if water is consumed as you drink alcohol.
