The Hangover Club

@mikebronfman I'm interested in your thoughts. I feel as though it helps promote a culture in which people are perhaps making themselves ill. If it's at the point in which someone needs an IV...

@stttories @asakitfield Good question! It is definitely a hurdle. In the coming weeks we are will have a section on the site that will feature bios of all our top nurses, to allow customers to get a sense of our team before booking. We will also have a feature allowing them request specific infusion specialist. Our repeat business is greatly driven by the experience and relationship the customer develops with our AWESOME nurses, so we only hire fun charismatic people (in addition to very skilled). All of our infusion specialists are either NPs, PAs, or RNs and are all required to be IV (re)certified (which means they have to take a 6 hour course).

@asakitfield I've used these services a couple of times. :) I'm still not sure I can detect the efficacy of the treatment. I guess the questions are, do they really work and what does "work" mean?

@surfy @asakitfield It definitely depends what you were given. A lot of the services out there are not using the highest quality fluids/vitamins, which makes a HUGE difference. -Normal saline/sodium chloride .9% vs. Lactated ringer's (WAY more effective, but harder and more expensive to get) We only use Lactated Ringer's of course... : ) Were you trying to get relief from a hangover or looking for some health benefit like energy or detox? Obviously I'm bias, but I am a true believer. I grew up with my doctor dad giving me B12 shots on weekends home from college to pick me up, or IV fluids when sick with the flu, which were great. But when I tried it for a hangover on my bachelor party, I was blown away.

@asakitfield Pure hangover relief. I'm guessing pure saline once and saline with nutrients (in vegas of course) another time. What's the difference? I've tried b-12 as well, but did not notice anything there either and I've had both types (meythl and cyano) what am I missing there?

@jlax There are actually IV hangover cure companies all across the nation. Nutri-drips are becoming very common place. While they are great for Hangovers, Nutri-drip benefits and applications extend far beyond the realm of party animals.
