Anyone ever considered an IV for alcohol?

Do it please. I'll submit it to the darwin awards.

How the hell is IV alcohol alcoholism, unless you are doing it for the sole reason that your stomach has been destroyed from too much drinking? It's just a novelty idea.

Novelty idea my ass. It is done in order to get drunk faster and feel the affects of alcohol even quicker.

P.S. It will sting like god himself has entered your veins and is poking away with an icepick. You'll want to water it down a with some sterile water. You can get them in vials at a hospital.

it means you have a problem. here's a suggestion, if you don't like the taste of schnapps (I don't blame you) switch to something more pleasant. Only stupid college kids drink stuff that they think tastes like gasoline.

My suggestion is clear tequila or tanqueray.

That's the novelty. It's done for sh|ts and giggles, nothing more. That why I planned it, at least. I even had a guinea pig lined up but I lacked the proper gauge needle, so I put it off.

That's typically what alcohol is for.
I'd say its novelty until they do it more than once.

NO. this doesnt work.

First, there are things in booze, other than alcohol, so you would need 200 proof alcohol before you even started. Then consider the amount of blood in your body and the amount of liquid in say, a shot. one shot of pure alcohol in a normal body comes out to a BAL of like 1. This is more than twice what's needed to kill someone.

Note, I did the math a year or so ago with my friend when we were drinking, so it may not be correct.

worst case scenario I can go get some sterile water and everclear.

I remember one of the guys from Motley Crue talking about how they used to do this...a lot of them were in rehab for a LOOONG time.

I remember hearing Nikki Sixx from Motley Crew talk about "mainlining" vodka or something like it while waiting to get a shot of Heroin.

That said, is this something you really want to be associated with??
