This IV package is going to be offered in three forms: Redemption, Salvation and In-Room Treatment. The latter will set you back $500 for the first person suffering from a hangover, while for his/her friends it will cost an additional $375 / “victim”.

Hangovers have been around for thousands of years, but scientists still haven't figured out the basic biology behind the affliction, says Joris Verster, an assistant professor of psychopharmacology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Verster is one of the world's most active researchers in the field of hangovers.


According to Verster, nobody really knows why people who feel great while actually drinking alcohol fall into such a sorry state long after the alcohol has left their system. Dehydration may play a small role, he adds, but the process seems to involve a complicated mix of inflammatory compounds released by the immune system.

More to the point, he says, of all of the products marketed for hangover relief, "no hangover cure is proven to be effective."
