Sorry, your health teacher is wrong when it comes to using bread for the purpose of the thread.
Bread soaks things up if they're on a plate, not if you've already eaten it because once you've ate it, the bread is already soaked and cant absorb anything else. The myth of bread involved burning bread to get charcoal because activated charcoal is used to help treat poisoning. However, charcoal from burnt food and activated charcoal are not the same. Bread, burnt or not, contains some ions such as sodium which may become decreased when drinking alcohol so it could serve as a source for that but you'd be better off drinking a sports drink or some other healthy thing because it'll have more sodium as well as vitamin b & d which are decreased when drinking. Lastly, assuming it does soak liquid up when ingested, it would decrease the amount of water, which would make the hangover worse.
