When I was stationed in Korea our barracks were just across the street from the troop medical clinic.
When we would go out drinking the night away, we would stop in the clinic before heading to bed. We had our fellow medics working there and we would provide them with "training" by getting IVs.
It was great "preventative medicine" to prevent a hangover. :laugh2:
When you are drunk as a skunk it is hard to drink a bunch of water, so an IV was a great solution.
Of course you just had to keep us awake until the IV was done.:laugh2:
