Electrochemistry I â Galvanic Cell. Introduction: Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons from one reactant to. another are called oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions. In a redox reaction, two. half-reactions occur; one reactant gives up electrons (undergoes oxidation) and another.
So, while rehydrating yourself (by drinking water, Pedialyte, or getting an IV drip) can help to lessen the pain from dehydration that usually accompanies a hangover, the debilitating effects of the hangover itself may remain. Science would suggest that not much actually cures a hangover other than time â not even a fancy IV drip.
Here are some of the things that WON'T help a hangover: 1  Drinking a little more alcohol the next day. This simply puts more alcohol in your body and prolongs the effects of the alcohol intoxication. 2  Having caffeine while drinking will not counteract the intoxication of alcohol; you simply get a more alert drunk person.
