you hook up your IV to a bottle of gin = you fill your blood vessel with alcohol?

Context:

Although alcohol is a depressant, some of its benefits may derive from its salubrious effect on our mood. In moderate amounts, Hensrud says, alcohol can help reduce stress, which is increasingly recognized as contributing to ill health.

Before you hook up your IV to a bottle of gin, though, Hensrud says that alcohol increases blood pressure and triglycerides in the blood, both of which can contribute to heart disease. Drinking can also cause cardiomyopathy (in which the heart doesn't beat properly), though Hensrud says that risk is outweighed by the heart-health benefits noted above.
