Depends on how bad you get. Believe me. Sometimes, you need the ER and IV fluids, especially if you're really depleted or if whatever's depleting you hasn't stopped. You can't get water back in fast enough and if you try, you mess up your electrolytes. Gatorade alone doesn't cut it if your kidneys are already shutting down.

Being a doctor he could have given himself a saline IV.
I know some that treat their hangovers that way.
I know paramedics and EMTs that have also.
