The first hangover clinic has officially opened

Those who are feeling worse for wear can get an IV drip, some extra vitamins and some pain medication.

Treatments range from 30 minutes to an hour at the Sydney-based clinic.

But you can't have wiped out all your money on booze if you want to indulge in a cure - it comes in at around $140-$200 Australian dollars (£66 - £95).

There has been a mixed reception to the news that a day of a dry mouth and pounding head could be a thing of the past though.

Michael Moore, chief executive of the Public Health Association of Australia told the Sydney Morning Herald: "This encourages people to use alcohol in an entirely inappropriate way and it's something the government should look at very, very carefully."

However members of the public seem far more receptive to the news.

One Twitter user wrote: "Australia opens handover clinic. 200 $ for a full hour session. Honestly, remembering some of the hangovers I survived, that's pretty worth it."
