... I've done this.

At the start of my bachelor party (and possibly later on that night? It gets blurry) we brought workout hydration powder, the kind you use during and after a gym session. Drank a lot of it ideally to prevent or reduce hangovers.

I have no idea how much it helped, because I was still hungover the next day.

As J_Sherz noted above, hydration before or during drinking isn't very helpful as alcohol is diuretic, so chances are you'll literally be pissing it away. You want to rehydrate afterwards, after you've stopped drinking and when you wake up (during the night if you wake up to piss, and the day after).
