Daily Talker: Instant Hangover Relief

A new company is slated to open here in Boston offering instant hangover relief or help when you just feel rundown by the flu, a migraine, or jet lag.

The I.V. Doc offers a different kind of cocktail of saline and vitamins, courtesy an I.V. drip, right in your own living room.

In hospitals, I.V. fluids are used all the time to quickly re-hydrate patients because the fluids go directly into the bloodstream. Thisworks much faster than simply drinking a glass of water.

These I.V.'s are administered by a licensed nurse or physician. But, with any I.V. placement there is still a small risk of infection.

The most popular request, by far, is the "Revive/Deathbed Treatment" for hangovers at $269.

What do you think of a new Boston company that offers I.V. fluids to treat the flu, a migraine, or jet lag?
