Because of that element if you want to attenuate hangover after a night out, drink a soup (kind of royco one) before getting to sleep. It will bring you some nutriments but more importantly bring back the slat level at the normal and allow you to conserve the water you will drink during the night.
That’s the easiest trik I got for thirsty people.

Basically your body moves water by diffusion/osmosis. In other words, there’s no water “pumps” in your body. Water just moves to where there’s less water or where there’s a higher concentration of something dissolved in water. There are plenty of “pumps” in your body that move salts, this is what your sweat glands do. They pump salt out of your body and water follows it. When that water evaporates, it cools your skin.
When you drink water, you’re only replacing that part of what you sweated out.
Why you need salts (electrolytes) is more complicated and exquisitely beautiful. Your body uses salt to move other molecules around, conduct electricity, store energy.

If your blood has too much water and not enough other stuff in it, the more concentrated solution in your cells will try to diffuse into your blood.
Concentrated solutions always want to diffuse towards a more dilute solution. Moving it in the other direction is like pushing something uphill, and the bigger the difference, the steeper the hill.

The issue is twofold:
Firstly, if you sweat out salty water but only replenish it with plain water, you’ll have a deficiency of electrolytes, the most abundant of which is sodium (table salt). The only way your body can correct a lack of sodium is by expelling more water. So without enough salt, you cannot retain enough water to stay hydrated. Conversely, too much salt leads to retention of water, causing high blood pressure.
Secondly, electrolytes like sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium are neurotransmitters. We use them for a whole bunch of things, from firing electrical signals from our brain down to our muscles through our nerves, to contracting muscles, to relaxing muscles. A deficiency can lead to muscle cramping, or more seriously an inability to control muscles and issues with the nervous system (and most seriously, cardiac arrhythmias because your heart is a muscle).
