"Don't Let a Pesky Hangover Slow Your Shot Pouring!"

Now, what if I were to tell you that there is a new custom service in as Vegas that offers a silvery, shiny bus with tastefully-appointed leather couches cruising the Strip from 8 a.m to 4 p.m. every weekend (starting 4/14/12) solely to cure your hangover in a mere 45 minutes?

What if I added that this service can be provided to you in the (supposed) privacy of your room from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday?

What's the treatment, you ask suspiciously. An "actual doctor" will hang a bag of hydration fluid (probably Ringer's) with liquid vitamins, anti-nausea and anti inflamation drugs and 45 minutes later (presumably the length of time it takes for the bag to empty) you'll be just as right as rain and all ready to go right out and do it again!

That there are three levels of treatment:
Salvation - anti-nausea, anti-inflammation meds, vitamins and hydration. $150 per person.
Redemption: hydration only. $90 per person
In-Room VIP Treatment: Two bags of fluid, $500 for the first patient, $375 for each additional person.

You'd probably say I was nuts and based solely on the above, I would agree. There's only so much "stuff" that can be made up.

But: go to HeavenlyHangover.com. The above is all sadly true. I'm sure the casinos love it; The police? Probably not so much. I think the HeavenlyHangover people's slogan should be: "Proudly making one alcoholic at a time."
