The controversial treatment, which involves having vitamins and minerals pumped into your body body via a drip, is one of the biggest crazes in Hollywood and reportedly gets rid of hangovers and boosts energy.
Rihanna reportedly spends a staggering £2000 a week on drips and energy boosting shots.
And later this year, it’s thought US company, Reviv, who specialise in the treatment, will be launching their services in the UK, with drips costing between £49 and £200.
While one expert predicted the trend is set to be “bigger than botox” while another woman told the Sun: “Once people like Rihanna started tweeting pictures about IV drips, one of the best secrets of the rich and famous was let out of the bag.
“If you feel rotten from a hangover, the quickest cure is an IV drip. It’s rehydrating plus vitamins and minerals go straight into the bloodstream.”
However the trend has been criticised as being “irresponsible” as some argue it actively encourages people to drink to excess because they know they won’t suffer with a hangover, if they use the drips.
Previously, Dr Peter Elton, director of public health in Great Manchester, slammed the proposed use of IV drips in the UK.
He said: “Going into a private clinic to have an IV drip inserted to overcome your hangover is completely inappropriate and the treatment is irresponsible.
“It will do nothing to prevent the serious damage to the liver caused by heavy drinking but yet may create the feeling you can drink as much as you like and reverse the effects. Some people might think they can drink themselves into oblivion and they will be absolutely fine – that just isn't the case.”
What do you think? Would you be tempted to get an IV drip if it boosted your energy levels?
