I had a little too much saki (and saki bombs w/beer) last night and am in pain. I'm dehydrated and dried up but my stomach kills and if I drink water it just comes back up via reverse peristalsis. I want to buy an IV to stick it in my arm and hang by my desk anyone know of a place?

Unless you have some medical training you have no business sticking an IV bag in your arm. You got wasted, you're going to feel like ass for a while, deal with it.

lol. While you're at it, why don't you just put a gun to your head. They don't inject water into you at the hospital, they inject Saline. Are you trying to kill yourself or something? Only an idiot would hook up an IV to themselves and try to rehydrate themselves. Go to the hospital if it's that bad.

Sake... I am sure you could buy one but why? Next time don't over do it and try to drink water BEFORE you go to bed. GL with the hangover.

Go to a hospital for god's sake. The saline solution has to be perfect or you will die. Don't doubt it.

I didn't mean to IV water in my arm, I meant a full IV bag with whatever stuff they have in it. And yes I know I overdid it, it happens to the best of us. Ok, just 1 more, ok this is the last one, etc. Then I fell asleep before I drank my glass of water. Guess I'll have to live with it and I swear I'm never drinking again and I mean it this time ;)

Umm, the entire point of an IV is hydration.

I think the point being made is that an IV should be administered by someone who is licensed to do so. Not by some dork who drank too much.

Man, some of you people get nasty real quick calling me idiot and dork among other things. If you've ever had a bad hangover you'd know and as I mentioned earlier it's not like I tried, I just got caught up in the fun and it happens (how many hangovers are there at the average college on saturday and sunday morning?) so I'm not the only one this happens to. And I was half kidding about the IV thing, I just think it would be sweet if that were possible, instant hydration.

aahh, finally got 40oz of fluid in my stomach to stay there. 20oz of Gatorade Ice and 20oz of water. Feeling better too for those of you that are interested in my current state of health.

I don't mind doing it for a friend, but for someone that's been on a 3 day binge & smells like puke & urine. the most special ones are the guys that are still drunk & a PIA:(

Oh, I understand completely. I've spent enough time in some of New Orleans' worst ERs to know what you mean.

You want to do drugs or something?

Seriously...you can't put food in those things, like they do in popular cartoons.
