Which raises the question, if the things people say about "hangovers" are true about the things they apply the term "hangover" to, what's left to be debunked?

The belief that the things they're talking about are caused narrowly by overuse of alcohol?

But isn't the claim being "debunked" that hangovers are mainly dehydration, not the direct effects of alcohol?
