Unpeeling the “Banana Bag IV” Doctrine: Scientifically Effective or Just Another Trend?
“Let’s get lit.”
We often text this to our friends when we plan to make a toast to a productive work week. From business networking to Tinder dates, alcohol is deeply ingrained in our culture.
However, we often overestimate what our bodies can tolerate, which leads to binge drinking and getting stricken with a nasty hangover when your alarm clock begins to yell at 6:00 am sharp.
Hangovers are a serious drag and can take up to 72 hours to recover from.
Fortunately, Drip Doctors offers the Banana Bag IV Drip which can help take away that killer hangover in 30–45 minutes, to help you bounce back from that slew of margaritas or IPA’s.
Traditional Use of the Banana Bag:
Roughly 16 million people in the U.S. suffer from Alcohol Abuse Disorder (AUD). Since 2004 ICU visits linked to chronic alcohol abuse have increased by a whopping 58%. Medical professionals in the ICU traditionally remedy alcohol withdrawal symptoms with IV fluids dubbed “the banana bag,” because of its’ yellowish hue. Depending on the severity of alcohol use, experts administer lower or higher doses.
Because alcohol abuse depletes thiamin, the banana bag is also administered to prevent the onset of Wernicke-Korakoff syndrome (WKS), or Wernicke’s Encephalopathy (WE).
The most typical symptoms of which include:
- Changes in vision

- Loss of coordination
Naturally, the settings in which the banana bag is administered has evolved with the times, now being routinely and safely administered at Drip Doctors locations throughout California.
