Is it possible and/or difficult to use an IV drip without medical assistance.?

I suffer from a sever reaction to alcohol whereby after even 3 or 4 standard drinks i will wake the following day feeling lethargic, nauseous, vomiting and with flu like symptoms akin to a heavy hangover for most people such that i will often not be able function properly or to get up from bed the entire day. Increasingly the effects are now lasting 2 and sometimes even 3 days whereby i will feel weak fatigued and flu-ish. I have researched and tried almost all suggested techniques to prevent the onset of these symptoms including: consuming large amounts of water whilst and after drinking, taking vitamin B supplements, eating greasy foods, as well as many other 'home remedies' to no avail whatsoever.

This led me to wondering whether it is feasible that one could acquire a drip and use it domestically in a responsible and non-dangerous manner. Perhaps there is a product which makes the process more friendly and safer for the layman? I would really appreciate your advise on this matter

Hey, I know... why don't you stop drinking?

What a novel concept.

why don't you just not drink that will solve your problem

it is dangerous - with out training and medical supervision... As you may damage the vein and in some cases nerve damage also...

go see your doctor please...

i think that you are a drip ,why not just stop drinking if it causing you problems

Instead of using a IV and the danger of a infection, blow vain, infusion in the wrong area don't drink. If it effects you so much don't do it. Then both problems are solved

Some thought needs to be given to this problem. Not a solution as to how to stop feeling awful when you have had a few drinks. If you are not able to tolerate drinking ask yourself why you are putting yourself through all of this for the sake of drinking. If it was a food that was causing this would you be putting yourself through all this agony? It is not necessary to drink to be sociable. If you have an alcohol intolerance love yourself enough not to drink any. Edith

It is actually very dangerous to do this on your own. I would not suggest it..

No, you could develop water intoxication. You won't be able to get the supplies for home use- no doctor would authorize that.

You would rather poke holes in you ans risk collapsing/ blowing veins jsut do you can have a beer? its okay not to drink, you can have water and soft drinks at bars. I'm sure its possible, millions of people are hooked on things intravenously. But why?

I honestly dont think that using an IV drip applied by yourself is a good idea. If you use that needle more than once, it is no longer germ free; you could puncture your veins, (ever have a nurse poke one right "thru" your vein ? It isn't a pleasant feeling. Besides I dont think there is a cure for a hangover that could be added to it. It could be that you are feeling sick for longer time periods because you are drinking more amounts, have you noticed that at all ? Consider liver damage. There's no way to go back to a healthy liver : (

You are probably suffering from a hangover + I dont know of a cure for it, other than to quit drinking. You are going to feel like crap everytime you do, + you know thats not going to change, it will only get worse : (

I think what you should do is go to a drug rehab place where you can be given something to get you off of alcohol. Beleive in yourself + be patient. Then maybe see if you can get some 1 to 1 therapy to find out why you drink. It could change your life + you wont ever need another drink again ! Sound good ? there are alot of former alcoholics out there just waiting to be a friend : ) Please don't use an IV yourself.

It could also be (if you aren't an alcoholic - please don't be offended) that alcohol doesn't agree with your body, sort of like an allergic reaction. Can you go without it ? I hope so

One can assume that if you are suffering these symptoms while/after drinking-and continue to drink, that you are addicted to alcohol. What you really need to do is see your doctor, but with my history of dealing with an alcoholic in the past, I doubt that's a choice you'll consider. Attend an AA/NA meeting and rid yourself of these nasty consequences of drinking alcohol.
