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.
Hangovers are a mix of leftover alcohol and lack of hydration. Drinking water of course will help. Even better would be something with elctrolytes like Gatorade or Powerade. Youre muscles twitch due to dehydration. I notice the same problems after I drink or when I have lots of soda and no water.
