Nurse setting up a hangover recovery IV drip for a guest at a Bali villa

I'm the senior nurse at BaliDripIV, and before mobile care I spent six years in an ICU — so believe me when I say a hangover is a boring, predictable problem: fluid loss, electrolyte depletion and a stomach too irritated to fix either by drinking. That's exactly what an IV line solves. We rehydrate you directly into the bloodstream, replace the vitamins alcohol burned through, and give doctor-protocol anti-nausea medication so you can keep water and breakfast down. We can't make the alcohol leave your system faster — nothing can — but we can help you rehydrate and support recovery while your liver does its work.

What’s in the Drip

1,000 ml NaCl 0.9% or Ringer's lactate

Sterile rehydration fluid that restores blood volume directly — the main reason the pounding headache and dizziness start to ease.

Electrolytes

Sodium, potassium and magnesium lost through alcohol's diuretic effect, rebalanced in proportions set by our doctor's protocol.

B-complex + B12 and vitamin C

Alcohol depletes B vitamins needed for energy metabolism. We top them up so the post-drip fatigue lifts sooner.

Anti-nausea medication

Ondansetron under our doctor's standing protocol, given before the drip when needed — so the fluids and your breakfast stay where they belong.

When It Helps — and When You Need a Clinic Instead

The classic case: beach club until 3 am, woke up at 11 with a skull-splitting headache, can't face water, and you have a surf lesson, a wedding or a flight tomorrow. That guest is who this drip was designed for, and most people tell us they feel noticeably more human within an hour or two of the infusion — rehydration works fast when it goes straight into a vein. Two of you suffering? We bring two kits, and from four people group rates apply.

When we'll tell you no: if you've been vomiting for more than 24 hours, have severe abdominal pain, confusion, chest pain, or you can't remember whether you hit your head — that's not a hangover protocol, that's a clinic visit, and we'll say so on WhatsApp for free. Suspected alcohol poisoning is hospital territory, full stop. And if your stomach trouble feels more like food poisoning than alcohol, look at our Bali Belly Recovery IV instead — different problem, different protocol. Curious why a drip works faster than chugging water? I wrote up the honest science here.

Pricing in IDR

The Hangover Recovery IV costs IDR 1.100.000 flat — nurse travel anywhere in our coverage zone, screening, the full drip and all consumables included. Add a B12 shot for IDR 250.000 when combined with any drip. The nurse is at your villa for roughly 75 minutes; the infusion itself runs 45–60. Full price list on the pricing page.

How It Works

  1. Message us on WhatsApp

    Tell us how you feel and where you're staying. We confirm the protocol and give you an honest ETA — usually 45–60 minutes.

  2. Quick health screening

    A short questionnaire — allergies, medications, heart and kidney history — reviewed under our doctor's protocol before your first drip.

  3. Nurse arrives with a sealed kit

    A licensed nurse (STR) checks your blood pressure, pulse and temperature, then places the line with sterile single-use equipment.

  4. Drip + aftercare

    You lie on your own sofa for 45–60 minutes. The nurse stays the whole time and leaves you rehydration and food advice for the rest of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a hangover IV cost in Bali?
IDR 1.100.000 all-inclusive — travel, screening, fluids, vitamins and anti-nausea medication. No hidden extras. Compare all drips on our pricing page.
How fast will I feel better?
Most guests report feeling noticeably better within 1–2 hours of the drip starting. To be honest: the IV helps you rehydrate and settles nausea — time still does the rest of the work as your body clears the alcohol.
Can two or more of us book together?
Yes — we regularly treat couples and whole villas the morning after. From four people you get 10% off; see Group & Event IVs.
Is it safe after a heavy night?
For a healthy adult with a standard hangover, yes — we screen everyone first and check vitals on arrival. If we see red flags (confusion, chest pain, suspected alcohol poisoning) we refer you to a clinic instead of putting in a line.
Do you come to hotels and guesthouses?
Yes — villas, hotels, guesthouses and resorts across south Bali, from Canggu to Uluwatu. For resorts we coordinate discreetly with reception when required.
