So after raging last night to Hell's Belles (all female AC/DC cover band which absolutely kicked ass) i awoke to go to work incredibly hung over. I was Still spinning and puking at 11:00 AM and something had to be done. I called my friend who is an EMT and he told me to come over to the Fire station. He gave me a 1000 ml saline IV, and instantly i was better, like completely.

Just thought i should share, if anyone has the means to an IV when they are hungover - it will instantly cure you.

if you have ever seen the oxygen bars around you can try that its supposed to work really well, it just allows you to breathe in pure oxygen for like 10 minutes or however long, plus its flavored. but they say it cures hangovers.

saline = rehydrates you, which is exactly what you need.  basically inserting an IV would be like skipping drinking a ton of water and just getting it done in an instant.  had never thought of that before, funny to hear it works though

yeah i have a friend who offered the IV before, and its true, it cures you fast. if you dont have access to that, drink Pedialyte (the kids stuff). one bottle and you are cured.

yes, saline is like salt water, but not

no, drinking salt water will just dehydrate you, and make you puke

IV = intravenous therapy.  they inject fluid directly into your veins.

Yep that is my plan from now on, it takes like 15-20 minutes for the bag to empty into your bloodstream though, but you feel instantly 100 percent better.

Salt replenishes electrolytes though, that is why Gatorade is so salty

I think saline mathces the natural sodium levels in your body

hangovers are for pussies fucking get over it. And if you were still spinning and puking at 11:00 am you must be a huge lightweight, even if you stopped drinking at 6 or 7 in the morning.

the iv is salty cus your blood is salty and it wouldnt be healthy to just put straight water into your blood

but it would dehydrate you if you drank salt water

heard this shit on the radio last night from a pilot. he was saying that if he was drunk he would just go into a jet or something with a oxygen mask and breath straight oxygen for 10-15 minutes and be good to go.

yeah the reason why iv's are 0.9% sodium is because if they were pure water, your red blood cells would fill up with too much water & explode.
ah the joys of being a med student - i get to do this whenever i want in 5 years, not to mention the copious amount of drugs i'll have access to...

You're a fucking pussy, shut your fuckin mouth. I don't normally get this pissed but you're a complete dipshit. Hangovers are NOT for pussies, theyre for people who manage to drink more than you. Because if you've never gotten one, you haven't drank that much. Your logic is retarded.

i drank pedialyte after while having salmonelle poisoning from that recalled peter pan peanut butter. it does NOTHING for that. but i am going to get a bottle of that for the next time i expect to be hungover.

the IV thing, that's awesome. i wish i had one. and also someone capable of sticking it in me the right way. (that's a perfect opportunity for "that's what she said")

You have to get that shit in a vein, otherwise it wouldn't flow in or just create a abscess in the muscle... But yeah, instant hangover cures would be sweet.
