I smell a scam here...

IV vitamins?

New 'bar' offers IV therapy

SANTA ROSA BEACH. Fla. (WJHG/WECP) -- It's not shaken, stirred or even served in a glass, but it is a liquid some might compare to those familiar concoctions.

A new bar on 30A in the Florida panhandle isn't serving up your traditional cocktails, but these "bartenders" are filling you up with exactly what you need.

"So we have different cocktails that we've formulated," says Aesthetic Clinique Nurse Sandy Weiner.
Nurses at this bar say their mixtures cure illnesses, reverse aging and do much more.

"Whether they've overindulged the night before or have been in the sun, we can help them hydrate and recover from that," said Weiner.

All you have to do is just sit in a chair and within 30 minutes, you'll begin to feel the buzz.

"So you will notice an immediate improvement in your energy level, your mood; you'll sleep well that night," Weiner explained.

Weiner says using an IV is the best method to get the vitamins your body needs fast.

He swore the best cure for a hangover was an IV hydration solution and a little O2. But I agree, this does indeed seem like a scam. The Florida version of an O2 bar.

I understand that it's a nurse starting the IV but, usually, it's under a doctor's orders.
