I decided to try it like a dumbass and I woke up in the middle of the night and I think its my liver but I dont know much about human anatomy. Its like on the right side of my stomache whatever it is, it's been throbbing all day. I don't want to go to the hospital but I don't know what to do. Any advice on what would make it feel better?
 
It might not be related to this because I've been having pains in my back and rib area for a few weeks now, so I don't know what the deal is.
 
Omfg


Alcohol injected intravenously CAN kill you very quickly, Its not being filtered by the liver so you're going to get HIGHLY intoxicated very very quickly and might possibly die. I know a guy on MTV named "Steve-o" injected a full syringe of vodka and nearly died.
 
yeah i know but it's too late now

and he injected 5 shots not a syringe full.

You said it dosn't go to your liver, are you sure or guessing? Because I feel like it's my liver that hurts so bad. Could be my kidneys though.
 
ive dont this numerous time, maybe only 3 or 4 and ive always been fine. youd have to inject so much alcohol to actualy get you drunk. so one syringe full isnt going to do anything to you
 
nm, I think I have kidney stones. I'm about to go to the hospital and find out I guess.
 
whats ethanol embolization?


Embolization is defined as the "therapeutic introduction of various substances into the circulation to occlude vessels, either to arrest or prevent hemorrhaging; to devitalize a structure, tumor, or organ by occluding its blood supply; or to reduce blood flow to an arteriovenous malformation."1 -

This is the use of ethanol Embolization as a medical treatment.
 
whats ethanol embolization?

Someone already answered this in words you may not understand; in medicine, ethanol is used intravenously to collapse blood vessels.

If you have a tumor, and the tumor has blood vessels going into it, this would be therapeutic to prevent the tumor from continuing to grow by removing its blood/oxygen/nutrients supply.

IVing ethanol (without diluting it to a very small percentage) into your veins in your arms is a bad idea because you need these veins since they are a critical part of your circulatory system.
 
I know people have already responded to the fact that IV alcohol isnt processed in your liver.... but I ll tell you what man that pain sounds exactly like liver pain to me. I had Hep A 5 years ago and thats exactly the pain I felt, tight aching under the right rib cage, then for a few months afterwards it came back anytime I drank much. No trying to contridict anyone here just my 2 cents, either way as someone who spent way too many years abusing alcohol I have to agree that probably wasnt the best decision... lol
 
I have a friend who IV'ed an entire syringe of vodka(so either 1/2cc - 1cc) and he was totally fine. Was it damaging to his vein and could it have ended up worse, as described by captain.heroin? Absolutely but what do you expect when shooting such a substance into part of your body that is designed only to carry blood - a non corrosive substance?

Is the pain your liver? Quite possibly. But its not related to shooting up a couple units of vodka. I'd seriously get that checked out by a doctor, but i honestly don't think you need to bring up shooting vodka unless unless he says whatever the issue is could be alcohol related. (unless you're an alcohol abuser it wont be).
 
Unless you had a pretty serious liver condition, one syringe of alcohol shouldn't cause too much damage to your liver. It is really bad for your veins though, as has been noted.

Whoever asked about whether it doesn't get to the liver or not, yes anything in your blood stream will eventually be metabolized by the liver.

Just drink alcohol.
 
on the plus side, atleast you didnt use, absinthe or OP rum..... even worst luckily you didnt use isopropyl
 
^
That isopropyl stuff is great for cleaning weed pieces and making iso hash oil... wait where am I?
