Business Idea. Hang over cure... What do you think?
    #7519253 -

So a couple years ago I watched a friend who worked a 24 on/24 off shift at a fire department hook himself up to an IV to cure his hangover... He went from being sick as hell to feeling pretty good within 15 minutes...

I live in a HUGE drinking town where I think something like this might work...

Rules would be similar to giving plasma on how often you can do it.

For like $10-$20 you can be instantly cured. Just stop in, get hooked up, and instantly hydrated.

I think it would bring in hella cash in a college environment.

What do you guys think?

my last birthday i got a present from my sister that was a small cylinder full of 'hangover drops'

its essentially a lozenge (sp?) that you suck on and it does a lil to make ya feel better.

i usually cycle about 5 through my mouth as i lay in bed before i'm able to get up/out.

Yeah, plus there are times where you are still drunk in the morning... Don't need anyone getting a DUI while trying to get my shop, then suing my ass.

But IV's are super portable, an in home service would be no problem.

Yeah, ive never known exactly whats in IVs. Is it just water or is there some nutrition as well?

For me, i reduce my hangovers by drinking lots of water after im done drinking and after im done pissing my soul out, before i go to bed and when i wake up in the morning. water water water!:crazy2:

Intravenous rehydration

Definition

Sterile water solutions containing small amounts of salt or sugar, are injected into the body through a tube attached to a needle which is inserted into a vein.

Purpose

Fever, vomiting, and diarrhea can cause a person to become dehydrated fairly quickly. Infants and children are especially vulnerable to dehydration. Patients can become dehydrated due to an illness, surgery, or accident. Athletes who have overexerted themselves may also require rehydration with IV fluids. An IV for rehydration can be used for several hours to several days, and is generally used if a patient cannot drink fluids.

Precautions

Patients receiving IV therapy need to be monitored to ensure that the IV solutions are providing the correct amounts of fluids and minerals needed. People with kidney and heart disease are at increased risk for overhydration, so they must be carefully monitored when receiving IV therapy.

Description

Basic IV solutions are sterile water with small amounts of sodium (salt) or dextrose (sugar) supplied in bottles or thick plastic bags that can hang on a stand mounted next to the patient's bed. Additional minerals like potassium and calcium, vitamins, or drugs can be added to the IV solution by injecting them into the bottle or bag with a needle.

Preparation

A doctor orders the IV solution and any additional nutrients or drugs to be added to it. The doctor also specifies the rate at which the IV will be infused. The IV solutions are prepared under the supervision of a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse, using sanitary techniques that prevent bacterial contamination. Just like a prescription, the IV is clearly labeled to show its contents and the amounts of any additives. The skin around the area where the needle is inserted is cleaned and disinfected. Once the needle is in place, it will be taped to the skin to prevent it from dislodging.

Aftercare

Patients need to take fluids by mouth before an IV solution is discontinued. After the IV needle is removed, the site should be inspected for any signs of bleeding or infection.

Risks

There is a small risk of infection at the injection site. It is possible that the IV solution may not provide all of the nutrients needed, leading to a deficiency or an imbalance. If the needle becomes dislodged, it is possible that the solution may flow into tissues around the injection site rather than into the vein.

It is a proven method, but I just don't think it has ever been used specifically as a hangover cure as a business like I am suggesting..

Marines, Army, Navy, Airforce, all way ahead of you, they smuggle the shit out of all that stuff, some of us have been doing this for years. You know you had a fun night when it takes 2 bags to make you feel right, I don't have any tips for making money off this, none legal anyways.

I dont know, I have gave plasma/blood and they aren't that bad. Plasma is much worse..

If you are hung over as hell, swearing to never touch alcohol again, a simple prick to the arm isnt going to mean much.

I would probably give it a try if they came to me, or if I lived close by... Which is why the place would be located on campus. Right next to a SHITLOAD of dorms.

HAHA, drink less....  Thats about the last thing on my mind.


A quote off of google...

Quote:
Learned this one in the military. We'd head out into the field, most of the lads having drunk til they couldn't see the night before. Once we'd gotten a good bit out and away from the offciers, out came the IV's. It's truly miraculous. Some of them were puking and on the verge of passing out, five minutes later they were right as rain.

My hangovers are more borderline liver failure...

Does re-hydrating fix this kind of ailment?

Sounds like something I'd like to try but not something that would be lucrative. If I wake up with a hangover, the last thing I would want to do is get up and drive somewhere. The liability insurance would be costly which would probably be passed on to the customer. I don't think it could be done for $20
