No such thing as too hoppy!

Are you sure it wasn’t a high ABV that dehydrated you?
I'm sure living in S.AZ doesn't help hydration much either.
But probably the ABV, and perhaps too much volume?

ABV for sure, but hops, never heard of that as a cause.

Maybe decades of hard drinking could cause dehydration? Not a doctor, but seems plausible.....

Does Beer Hydrate You? An In-Depth Look
If beer is 95% water, then surely it should hydrate you? But what about alcohol being a diuretic? Does beer hydrate you or dehydrate you? Let's take a look

I'm with Brac on this one. If I drink a lot of extra hoppy IPAs I wake up with super dry mouth and feel dehydrated. Not just related to ABV, happens with lower ABV brews too.
Still worth it to me, glass of water by the bed solves it. No need not to drink them.
Also worse for me if I use campden to treat the water. Wife and I had similar issues when we were hanging out at a small brewery on a trip, asked the brewer and he said they used campden. Might just be in our minds too.

that's what happened to me with this SUPER hoppy beer, when i just use 1.5-2ozs in a 10 gallon batch no problem..
if i didn't already say, this had like 4ozs/60, 8ozs/20, and 16ozs/170°f
Wow. That's a recipe for some really expensive pee.

What is the ABV?
Did you go on a bender? Drinking a lot of anything can make you dehydrated the next day.
