We know that you have been in a situation like this: you get a bit rowdy and even went a little overboard on the night before the hangover. When it is all said and done, you then find yourself awake to some of the most uncomfortable feelings that you have experienced. Your mouth feels extremely dry, your body is aching all over, and you have that dreaded pounding in the head. And, normally a little bit of vomiting would also be part of it. It is a terrible feeling and we at IV Vegas know.
But if you happen to be in Vegas or near the general area and have a few extra wads of cash lying around, these terrible mornings can actually be something that you never have to worry about. IV Vegas, one of the few services that is starting to get a bit more popular in the US will send you a trained nurse to deal with your hangover. The nurses from IV Vegas will be guaranteed to arrive right on time. They will administer a medical cocktail of vitamins and other fluids that will give you the strength and charge you need to get past the day.
Packages for these kinds of services are normally a bit pricey. The service, after all, is often targeted to the wealthier classes or business types who has the role of taking clients out for good times during business trips. While drinking their way into the night, they still have to work with focus on the next day. While I am neither of those, I do drink a lot and find myself being a bit too hungover to function well. This is why I found the value of the service offered and am keen to give it a go. The business value is there, now I want to see the execution.
Before Taking IV Vegas – The Night Before
Before I could try any hangover miracle cure, I have to be hungover first. So, the first order of business is to consume the same amount of alcohol which I know will give me that morning hell I have been quite used to. Full disclosure, any enjoyment on my part as part of this experiment is purely incident but a happy one, nonetheless.
For the sake of science and doing the experiment right, I did ample research and came up with a surefire way of getting the hangover that I wanted. I simply had to do every health guide tells you not to do when you are out drinking. First off, I should not have enough sleep. Coming from a night of writing an article, I thought I already had that one in the bag. I should not have had anything substantial to eat which was difficult but then again the third rule saved me. The third rule is to eat a lot of sweets. So, with a stomach full of junk and being half-asleep, I couraged my way through a night of liver pounding.
In my quest, I gobbled up a six pack and I binge watched a few shows I have been meaning to follow. But with the hangover experiment, I am not so sure if that was the best way to enjoy them. I could say that I did loosen up and had a relaxed time falling asleep though.
It was not my proudest moment but it probably is the most guiltless cans of beers I have ever had in awhile. I dozed off after a few hours and while the credits were rolling, I didn't even have the strength to pick myself up and march to the bedroom. I lay on the couch awaiting the punishment of alcohol.
The aftermath – The call for IV Vegas help
Two things woke me from my terrible sleep. The first one was the pounding headache that has been cracking my skull like a jackhammer. The second is the call from the nurse who was supposed to administer the IV. I did not care for dealing with either because the pain was unbearable. I knew that I had to look decent so I put on some easy to wear clothes the night before and kept a spare just in case I had to hurl. In the back of my mind I thought that the nurse would have probably seen worse but they knew that I was writing an article about them so I did not want to mess my integrity by looking beat up. Hobbling my way downstairs to meet the nurse, I resisted the urge to drink ice cold water which would have quenched the thirst that have been bugging me. I wanted to make sure that I did not take any prior remedy so I can experience the entirety of the cure myself.
The nurse arrived and as the professional that she is, she went right down to business. She might have a few experiences dealing with the business types which probably did not have much time for chit chat. Just to make sure that she was not going to accidentally spike my blood pressure or sugar levels, she took my vitals in preparation for the IV. She confirmed to me the package that I preordered and upon hearing it one more time, It was as expensive as I remembered it was. I thought to myself that I was not going to afford getting this treatment other than the experiment that my sponsors backed me up on.
Conclusion – The Effect After IV Vegas
The treatment consisted of a few things. First, it tries to recover the essentials that a night of drinking tears away. This includes the electrolytes which also rehydrates you and some of the vitamins and minerals. Then the nurse will ask you what you feel so she could further customize your IV Vegas cocktail for the best results.
As what you might expect, the hangover did go away faster than it used to. For the price point, I would reserve this treatment as an extreme measure for now.
