If you're so hung-over you can't get to the local drug store for Advil, there's a new service that claims it can bring relief to your door.
The I.V. Doctor is a house call hangover service in New York City run by a urologist. Dr. Elliot Nadelson and his team provide in-home, hotel or office I.V. hydration for dehydration relief to members all hours of the day or night. The staff person that shows up at your door will hook you up to a fluid IV with optional anti-nausea, anti-heartburn and anti-inflammatory medication.
.....
The service, Nadelson said, works like this. A client calls after a long night out hosting their clients, for example, for an IV hydration treatment (hangover relief). Nadelson calls the client to "obtain a health history and discuss with the patient a tailored treatment." Nadelson will recommend a nurse or a physician's assistant be dispatched to the appointment.
I.V. Doctor, he said, hires only "highly trained" nurses and PAs. Most have worked emergency rooms or intensive care units for at least two years. "Several of our nurses have their certified registered nurse infusion certificate," he said.

According to the article, membership in the I.V. Doctor club costs $399 and includes two, two-liter I.V.s per month. Drinking a little less alcohol would seem to be a better alternative, just my IMHO.
