For hangovers and over-drunkiness, why not just eat some alcohol dehydrogenase or cytochrome P450IIE1?

along with some glutathione?
Answer:
If you ingest alcohol dehydrogenase it will instantly be degraded in your stomach due to the acidic environment. Also if you eat these things they will be broken down into their constituent parts by your digestive system just like the digest everything else you eat. So no ADH, Cytochrome P450 etc. will be exist in its active state and therefore will be useless.
Because, Einstein, eating a hormone does not increase its function in the liver.
This would be another wrong..and you know what they say about two wrongs
I think a hot pot of coffee works better
Eating the above Enzymes wouldn't work because they would be inactivated and broken down in the stomach. You would need to inject them into the bloodstream, and even then, it would not guarantee their uptake into the liver, in fact I doubt it would work.
I've thought about that many mornings (usually those following a friday or saturday nite)...maybe they could invent an intravenous injection, to avoid the digestive tract
