incognitas8	The pathetic, miserable lives of FUTURE alcoholics... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mlgable	No it is not safe and would not cure a hangover or prevent one. Your best prevention is to drink plenty of water and be sure to eat some protein before you go to bed to help keep your blood sugar level. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cobalt	You can generally prevent hangovers by having a LOT of water and a Multivitamin at night before you go to sleep. Hangovers are largely caused by the dehydration effects of alcohol. Yeah, a saline drip would help, but it requires medical training to do right. Just drink some water. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ryan's mom	After a night of drinking I just ate something before bed and rarely had a hangover. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stargazer6440	bad protocol yes...but she's basically hydrating by using saline bags...the same could be achieved w/ some water and a salt tab I think... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stark	I don't know if it would work. saline is to rehydrate you, which after a night of drinking if you are dehydrated i'm sure it would make you feel better. On whether or not it is safe, saline doesn't do any harm, but putting in an IV catheter without a docotor around, and while hungover... this i would not recommend. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

GiGi	I worked in the E.R., and I actually saw an E.R. doctor hooking up one of the 'partying all the time' nurses, do this for her. It seemed to work, and if THEY do it, it must be safe. Very unethical, but safe. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sam s	why dont you take two asprin before sleeping, when you wake up BINGO no headache!! easy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

d.benton_smith	One of the downside effects of drinking alcohol is dehydration of the tissues in various parts of the body, and many of the unpleasant physical sensations that we call a "hangover" are actually just the symptoms of cellular level dehydration. So, sure, a saline IV drip is gonna quench the thirst a lot faster than drinking water (or, perish the thought, the hair of the dog that bit you.) BUT, poking needles into veins always involves certain risk factors like inadequately sterile needles, skin prep or general environment, etc. that are entirely possible to be serious or even life threatening (much like demon rum itself) Basically, the procedure described is no more 'safe' or 'healthy' than drinking and needle poking... which ain't really all that safe, ya know? Hangover is a message, and the message is that alcohol is poison. So long as you remember that then go ahead and kill the pain, but remember that there's always a chance that the poison (or pain killer) could just possibly kill YOU first. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

noonetome	It is definitely IRRESPONSIBLE of both of you however ESPECIALLY HER AS A NURSE! That is not legal!!! And she is misusing her nursing privileges. Grow up and be more responsible!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Doc	yes it will do the trick but all you need is fluid in your body (DRINK WATER) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
