For fatigue and hangover recovery.
Sound familiar?
The morning after.
- A pounding headache and a mouth like sandpaper.
- You can’t keep water down.
- Too queasy to eat, too wired to sleep.
- A full day ahead and no time to lose.
- You know you overdid it, and you want your day back.
What’s happening in your body
Why the morning after hurts.
A hangover is several things going wrong at once.
- Fluid lossAlcohol makes you pass more urine, so you wake up dry: thirst, headache, dizziness.
- Toxic effectsAlcohol and what your body breaks it into act directly on the body, adding to nausea and feeling unwell.
- Hormone changesAlcohol disturbs the hormones that balance water and salt, which adds to the dryness and headache.
- InflammationDrinking heavily switches on inflammatory messengers (cytokines), part of why you ache and feel ill.
The evidence
What the research shows.
Published averages
In intoxicated patients, an IV drip did not shorten the stay.
Published averages
No hangover remedy has strong proof.
What we do
Rehydrate, then rest.
We are honest about the evidence: no treatment has been proven to cure a hangover. What reliably helps is fluid, rest and, if you are being sick, anti-nausea treatment. An IV puts fluid back fast when you can’t keep water down.

Same-day sick visits
If you are vomiting or feel unwell beyond a hangover, see a clinician. Call before 2:00 PM for a same-day visit.
Safety first
- Never drink and drive, and don’t drive while you are still impaired.
- Confusion, vomiting that won’t stop, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, pale or blue-tinged skin, or someone you can’t wake: that is alcohol poisoning. Call 911 now.
- This is not emergency care.
What waiting costs
What waiting costs.
- A hangover slows thinking and visual-spatial skills even after your blood alcohol is back to zero, so you can be a risk to yourself and others. Don’t drive on one.Wiese JG, et al. Ann Intern Med 2000 · PMID 10836917
- In the US, hangover-related absence and poor job performance were estimated to cost $148 billion a year.Wiese JG, et al. Ann Intern Med 2000 · PMID 10836917
- The surest prevention is moderation: the review found no remedy with compelling evidence.Pittler MH, et al. BMJ 2005 · PMID 16373736
Questions
Common questions
Does an IV cure a hangover?
No treatment has been proven to cure one. An IV replaces fluid quickly when you can’t keep water down, and many people choose it to feel better faster, but we won’t promise it works for everyone.
When is it more than a hangover?
Confusion, vomiting that won’t stop, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, pale or blue-tinged skin, or someone you can’t wake are signs of alcohol poisoning. Call 911. This is not emergency care.
Can I drive afterwards?
Not while you are still impaired. A hangover slows thinking and coordination even when your blood alcohol is back to zero. Get a ride.
How do I book?
Book online or call us. A clinician checks you before any drip.
