I pregamed a busy weekend with IV therapy. Here's what to know before trying

Ahead of the time change and a weekend full of social plans, I booked a wellness treatment I've been hearing buzz about — an IV hydration drip.

I tried: The "Epic Hangover" IV at Hydrate Medical Dilworth. Think of it as a cocktail for your cells.

How it works: Instead of chugging water and electrolytes, fluids go straight into your bloodstream.

• After a quick health screening, you'll spend about 30 minutes in a recliner while a bag of IV fluids drips in.
• Pricing: $109–$199 (first visit is $99).

My thought bubble: I kept things relatively responsible, so the hangover part didn't get a full stress test.

• But between a few drinks, a couple sweaty workouts, two late nights and the time change, I still felt clear headed, hydrated and energetic the whole weekend.
