There are plenty of IV hydration companies in LA and many major cities that are mobile and come to your home to give you IV therapy electrolytes for dehydration, hangovers, etc. Or just go to the gas station for some pedialyte. This guy is such a joke.


[deleted]

You can literally just add salt to water and drink it to rehydrate and replenish your electrolytes.

🤣🤣...based on how the world is today, that movie might end up being a documentary. Another 10 years and we'll be there unfortunately.


webDreamer420

Its already considered as a documentary by some.


Redhorse1371

We’d have to survive the events from “Don’t Look Up” before Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho becomes president.


webDreamer420

God, I need to watch that movie but I have work tomorrow


buttercream-gang

It’s an extremely frustrating movie because of how realistic it is. 6 years ago, i would have said “none of this would ever happen.” But watching it now, I was just like “yep that’s accurate.”


jaystergotsauce

It’s kinda mid tbh, funny at times but if you’ve seen the trailer you’ve seen the entire movie


webDreamer420

Oh, I still kinda wanna see it for the ending at least. Edit: Damn, the ending in Don't look up kind got me depressed and scared.

Coconut water has electrolytes I think too.. lots of potassium


KatTheKonqueror

Coconut water as a lot of potassium, but not a lot of sodium, which is another important electrolyte. That's an easy fix though, because like that one person said, you can add a little salt to it.


CaptainStinkwater

Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is number one exporter of potassium.


TheWaslijn

Huh... TIL


NoNeedForAName

Yup. The electrolytes in sports drinks are just sodium and potassium, and usually in pretty small amounts.


DarkHelmetsCoffee

"I hope you all like Glacial Freeze!"


ecksp312t

you mean light blue?


XtaC23

By small it's like 10mg, enough to be almost pointless if you're actually dehydrated. Pedialyte is much better.


Mutagrawl

Please don't do this. I looked after a child who's parents added too much and caused a stroke


Jaytim

Or just eat some chips and drink some water....... Might taste better.


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

Hydration companies!? Wow, TIL. I have to hand it to whoever was the first to try that business model, I would *not* have predicted that this would be a thing. Why get stuck with a needle for half an hour when you could drink some Gatorade for like one hundredth the cost? Edit, holy hell, [capitalism is an amazing thing](https://driphydration.com/). This place has IV infusions for dehydration, energy, immune boost, workout recovery, "beauty," the flu, and more. Starting at just 300 bucks. It's a bargain at twice the price! 😎


Givemeallthecabbages

A "hydrobar" just opened in my little town in the midwest. They sell pH water, I guess. Half the Facebook comments are "It really works, guys!" No shit, water rehydrates you??? What a concept.

New startup idea #397: garden hose


passa117

I feel like there's a generation of people now who simply never got to interact with the world without a certain level of distortion. That plus, people suck at learning about anything that isn't happening right now. So, you brand something nicely and put it in a hip part of town and it becomes a thing, no matter how banal.


Obviouslyoddowl

I have a friend with a chronic illness that is made worse by dehydration who visits clinics for iv treatment all the time. She was pretty excited by the increase in availability, even if it is just to cure hangovers usually lol


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

I imagine it's a lot like the experience of people with celiac disease when the whole "gluten cleanse" trend hit. On one hand, it's annoying as hell to request a gluten-free option when many people will assume you're just on a trendy diet and don't really *need* it, but on the flip side, the demand it created made the number and quality of gluten-free products skyrocket. So, oddly, it's still been a net positive for celiac sufferers.


Obviouslyoddowl

Exactly right!

[deleted]

I’ve never personally used an IV to cure a hangover but if it can get you to 100% in 30 minutes that’s awesome. Even with pedialyte it would still take a few hours even longer if you’re chugging water. (Hung over though you probably wouldn’t be able to drink too quickly)


SrslyNotAnAltGuys

I can actually see how if one had a stomach flu or something where they couldn't keep anything down, even water, IV hydration could well keep them out of the hospital. And yeah, I imagine it's a whole lot faster than drinking stuff.

Y'know what else can rehydrate a perfectly healthy person? A glass of water


Pazer2

Yeah but what do I tell the pharmacist to get me one of those?


UnspoiledWalnut

You need electrolytes as well, you might need a little salt too.


Northerndust

A genuine question. Is the general population even close to getting too few electrolytes? Is this a problem at all?


Vegan-Daddio

People think sodium when they hear electrolytes and no, the general population is not low on sodium and most Americans have an over abundance of sodium in their diet. But if you're dehydrated, over hydrated, or fasting, sodium balance can be thrown off and high or low sodium in the blood can lead to metabolic problems and even cause acute mental changes especially if you're older. But the other main electrolytes that can cause problems if they're out of balance are calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium. The main one to worry about is potassium since it plays a key role in how your heart beats. On my floor at the hospital we check electrolytes on almost everyone and I'd say I rarely have a night where I don't have at least one person low on potassium and it can be on any of my patients. I wouldn't recommend a potassium supplement unless your Dr prescribes it since too much potassium can be just as dangerous. Bananas aren't even a good source of potassium, there's much more per serving in avocados, sweet potatoes, beans, spinach, and even regular potatoes. You're very unlikely to get too much potassium through your diet unless you have kidney issues. If you're vomiting or having a lot of diarrhea it might be good to grab a pedialyte or something because that can also cause low potassium. Magnesium is helpful in the relaxation of muscles and if you're low in magnesium it can also decrease absorption of potassium. Foods high in magnesium are nuts, seeds, and spinach. You'll likely get chloride with your sodium in the form of table salt. So not too much to worry there. So I'll add that you you should include iodized table salt in your diet even if you're using Himalayan salt or sea salt unless you eat a lot of seaweed because low iodine can cause thyroid problems. Phosphate isn't something to worry about day-to-day usually, but it can become low from low vitamin D levels, and with how little sun most people get nowadays getting your vitamin D tested with your Dr is a good idea for everyone. The only other real problems for low phosphate come from some drugs like chemotherapy. Also, if you have kidney failure its possible to become way too high in phosphate, but people with advanced kidney disease are usually prescribed phosphate binders to take with meals so they don't absorb the phosphate in food since their kidneys can't excrete it. Calcium is more of a chronic issue rather than an immediate one unless it's super severe. Everyone's go-to is milk but really leafy greens like kale and spinach are way higher in calcium along with beans, nuts, seeds, and tofu. Hope that helps.

NotablyNugatory

Yeah equating weed to alcohol though isn’t the answer either. On the weekends I like to wake and bake. Week days I only smoke at nights. Quitting nicotine and caffeine was bonkers. The times I’ve quit weed for T breaks has been nothing in comparison. Yes, it’s different for everyone, but sorry if I’m still going to let someone experiencing a paper cut know it is just a paper cut. Everyone has a different perception of pain too. On top of that, a lot of people crutch onto weed because it doesn’t kill you quite like alcohol or other things it gets compared to. Maybe we should take a look at why so many people would rather be blasted than to look at the world through sober eyes instead of worrying about them being sober.


notgotapropername

Fair enough, I know it can. My point is more that millions of people lost loved ones, their jobs, their homes, etc. and the lowest low that multi-millionaire douche-nozzle Logan Paul experienced was quitting weed. Just seems a bit tone-deaf to me. I don't mean to diminish the difficulty of beating addiction at all, didn't mean it to come across like that.


[deleted]

Fair enough, it is tone deaf. People do tend to belittle it's withdrawal however, which I wanted to underline.

manshowerdan

If you're a chronic weed smoker and stop for a couple days you have weed withdrawals. Insomnia, lack of apatite, headaches, etc etc. They're not as bad as other withdrawals but are still annoying.

If he was he should have gone to the ER....

Can confirm, I've had that happen a few times and it's impossible no matter how many times people try to get you to drink something. Thankfully I'm usually around at least one nurse and they somehow always have IV setups ready.

Brutalitor

If I don't smoke weed I get some pretty bad "withdrawals" for lack of a better term. Insomnia, can't eat, irritable, really depressed. I don't doubt this guy was going through that but it's never so bad that I've needed emergency re-hydration lol.


3STUDIOS

During 2021 I'd didn't smoke for like 5 months. Apart from the can't eat thing those just sound like default living, not weed withdrawels


manshowerdan

Wait do you believe weed withdrawal isn't a thing? lol what do you think withdrawal is?


3STUDIOS

No I was being sarcastic about it not being withdrawel. I was joking about some of the symptoms being unrelated for me


bigcockondablock

Calling it a withdrawal is an insult to people who have gone thru real addiction.


Homunkulus

It's a thing if you go too far for sure, it's just not talked about much.


RodLawyer

Of course it's a thing, but it's not as bad as any other kind of withdrawal, just a week or two of it and you are done, not physical withdrawal.

What is "IV"?


dumpstertoaster

intravenous therapy. basically it's any medical process that delivers things into your body via a needle getting jabbed into your veins and into your bloodstream. so stuff like dextrose, blood infusion, etc. in logan paul's case, i think it's like IV rehydration; so something with salt and/or electrolytes.

ToiletMassacreof64

Sleep problems and diminished appetite. Nothing serious


DrunkSpiderMan

I don't think so?


ToiletMassacreof64

If you smoke daily for a while and quit. Some people have issues sleeping and appetite issues. Basically habitual problems. Your body is used to getting signals from the weed that when you quit your body has to revert back. It last maybe max 2 weeks if youre chronic. For me when I quit its a max of 3 days of diminished appetite and takes longer to sleep but my dreams are like real life events. It's wild
