Um, no, I got it wrong. (Dammit Jim, I'm an engineer, not a doctor !) Yes, alcohol will make your kidneys work overtime, so you will lose too much liquid and become dehydrated (that's what a hangover is, really - mild dehydration, so drink plenty of water before going to sleep and you'll avoid the worst of it).

Once you are dehydrated, your body stops eliminating liquid, but it must eliminate urea and so on and so forth.
