Australia Opens Its First Hangover Clinic

In an effort to combat the dreaded Christmas Party hangovers, Australia has opened its first-ever Hangover Clinic in Sydney.

The clinic believes its range of services can sort out your headache and general deadness within 30 minutes to an hour, thanks to specialised nurses and a wide variety of medical options.

Starting at a pricey AUS$140, patients at the clinic receive an IV drip and vitamin cocktail that can clear out their system and have them some way towards normality. If you're in a particularly bad way, an hour-long session that includes oxygen therapy and a hydration drip will sort you out for the price of AUS$200.

Max Petro, founder of the clinic, says that no alcohol is served on the premises. "There's no one binge drinking in our clinic. We're just there to make sure people can get on with their day," he explained in a recent interview.

Usually a few sausage rolls, whatever fried food is left over from the previous night and a vial of coffee sorts us out, but whatever you think yourself.
