If you need more encouragement, think of all the CH3CH2OH(aq) you will be ingesting after it's all over. Think of all the redox reactions that your body will be trying to do to digest this CH3CH2OH(aq). Think of all the fuel cells, the Ka calculations, the Faraday equation. Think about electroplating every conductive material known to man, then some. Think of never thinking about all these ever again.
