      • In-home treatment targets hangovers

        MIAMI -

        If you plan on celebrating Friday by having a few too many cocktails, prepare for the Saturday morning aftermath. 

        Corey Summers found out the hard way. 

        "One drink led to 10 drinks. Ten drinks led to a little bit more than that. (I'm) dizzy, fuzzy, just not 100 percent," Summers said.

        Hangovers can be treated the old-fashioned way with painkillers and a greasy cheeseburger, but Dr. Gregory Romaniuk offers a different option.  

        "There's no cure 100 percent for a hangover, but what we do is try to target the specific symptoms," said Romaniuk.  

        For somewhere between $150 and $300, he said he'll go to your home, hook you up to an IV and hydrate you with fluids, vitamins and sometimes even medicine.  

        "Anti-nausea meds or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory meds in the IV that can bring pretty quick relief," said Romaniuk. 

        But why would anyone pay that price when they can sleep it off for free?  

        "Without this, I'd probably be a waste of space all day, but I have to work later so I want to be on point," said Summers while being pumped with fluids.   

        And why would any doctor facilitate a pain-free way to drink heavily?  

        "We don't condone overindulging in any form," said Romaniuk.  

        He said he simply wants to help people feel better whether they drink or play sports.  

        Summers is soaking it up. 

        "I'm hoping to feel like a human being again," Summers said.
