Biggest Hangover Off All Time? One80 Can Help.
A Los Angeles house-call IV service promises to cure your hangover fast — here's what the science says, and why our full verdict is still pending a first-hand trial.
Highly trained nurses will come to you with bags full of glorious IV hydration.
Our reviewerA Promising Cure We Haven't Tested Yet
Everyone has a go-to hangover cure — raw eggs, electrolytes, a giant diner breakfast before bed — and we've tried them all with the same result the next morning. So we went looking for what actually causes a hangover: dehydration and increased urine production that throws off your electrolyte balance, producing symptoms that look a lot like a rough night of drinking.
Drinking water helps over time, but it's too slow to touch a piercing 9 a.m. headache. That gap is where One80 comes in: for Los Angeles residents, highly trained nurses will come to your house with bags of IV hydration, for a fee of $129 to $189.
We haven't had the occasion to try One80 ourselves yet, but a big party on the calendar in the coming weeks should give us the chance. Until then, our score reflects the concept and the science behind it rather than a first-hand test — curious readers may also want to see a Gizmodo review of a similar on-demand IV service in New York for a sense of what to expect.
For anyone who has suffered through a truly bad hangover, the price may feel easy to justify. Los Angeles residents now have a real option on the table, provided they're willing to pay a premium for relief.
Why We Love It

Worth Watching, Not Yet Verified
One80 targets a real problem with a legitimate approach to hydration, but until we've tried it ourselves, this rating reflects promise rather than proof.
