Anecdote: someone told me she knew some nurses and they knew a quick way to get over hangovers. Quite illegal, but it involves IV. Don't come at me: I'm not recommending this, I've never done it, and your nurse friends probably won't do it for you. Edit: TIL it's not illegal. However, in a hospital I'm pretty sure the nurses aren't supposed to do it for free.

Illegal where? This is a "show up to your hotel room" service you can get in Las Vegas.

  It’s legal - I’ve stayed at hotels even in London where you can get a nurse administered IV of some bullshit in your room. I passed on that, and went with the time honoured method of a greasy fry and a pint. The illegal part is if the nurse is stealing the IV and “works” from their workplace (a hospital).

There are IV bars in Colorado so not all that illegal (doing at home: yeah a little different). You can get just a reg. IV, or vitamins - that sort of thing. Being at a high altitude, hangovers suck up here, so there may be a market. I don't drink anymore - and it wasn't a hard decision. I haven't been down to sea level in a very long time, but drinking is completely different up here than down there.

It's not illegal here. They advertise it in bar restrooms as a "hangover and extreme sports recovery" treatment.

what's the way? just rehydration drip? that's widely known and there's nothing illegal about it if you have the equipment

In case people are wondering, you the IV injects a few hundred ml of saline, which most medical professionals would have access to. There were clubs that specialized in selling this to hungover people [1]. I wouldn't lightly risk sending myself into septic or hypervolemic shock but I know former EMTs who swear by it.
