When you read stuff like that, and they can't come up with a good answer, then you get an idea that there is no one "magic bullet" that makes a hangover. In that paper they reported that even mice injected with pure ethanol suffered a hangover the next day.

Interesting read. I very much agree that there is no one magic bullet. I suspect all of these are significant factors. Related to the dehydration is electrolyte imbalance. Where I live in South Asia, people suck lemons to beat a hangover. Slightly off topic, but I've got to say that the guy who figures out if mice are hungover or not has a really weird job.
