    This guy in Vegas is setting up a bus that will come to your house, hook up an IV, and give you fluids, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medicines.

    He is charging 90 to 200 USD depending on which you choose.

    I think it is a great idea but I can't imagine ever using it myself or really see it taking off.

    Would you pay for this? Do you think this would work here?

    The last thing you want to do after a night on the town is fork out another 100+ euro

    There is one already. Not drinking. :rolleyes:

    Also it depends on what you drink and your own personal hangover remedies. For me it's coffee and bacon.

    I don't think I've ever been so hungover that I'd want to spend the day hooked up to an IV.

    I am trying to imagine how bad the hangover would have to be before I thought this was something I would pay for...

    +1 Having some fella from Vegas inserting a drip into my veins, sounds like worst possible hangover scenario ever!

    More beer = only cure. Pussies.

    This is my approach! Have suffered NASTAYYYYYY hangovers lately. Endeavour not to suffer such this weekend. But I can't even bring myself to take a Panadol, never mind some IV stuff!

    Pussies agitate a hangover.

    Yeah, and I would think that with being dehydrated, it would be hard for them to get the IV started. Ugh... being hung over and someone digging for veins. :(

    Dioralyte. Comes in sachets from the chemist for about 40 cent. Add to 200 mls exactly of water and down the hatch. It's really for restoring electrolytes after severe vomiting and/or diarrhoea, or after an endurance event they're useful too. They work wonders for me. Best is to take one sachet when u get home, then another when u wake up, snooze for an hour or whatever u need then you're set for the day

    What an odd idea. No, I wouldn't pay for it.

    Diaoralyte, berocca and solpadene in the one glass is good.

    I have also found an oxygen mask to be very good in the past.

    I don't drink anymore though.

    I wouldn't have been willing to pay either way.

    I kind of accept a hangover as punishment and a discouragement not to drink to often. That must be the ancient catholic in me, a self flagellation thing.

    Have actually tried this and it's pretty impressive. Don't want to get anyone in trouble but I most certainly didn't pay. Get to know someone who works in a hospital.......

    The solution to the after effects of taking a lot of drugs?

    Moar drugs of course.
    Funnily enough, that's actually a valid cure as far as i'm concerned. I just think the idea of a "Hangover haven" bus to be a bit ridiculous.

    I would - even if I don't drink that much I spend the next day vomiting until about 4pm. I get horrendous hangovers, so bad that I don't drink much these days because I can't face wasting an entire one of my weekend days in bed praying for death.

    The fcuking crazy thing is that if we were still in the Celtic Tiger years, with ar$eholes throwing money around, this would probably be an industry in Ireland too.
