The video was shared with the caption, “You’re at a destination wedding… instead of lemonade, there’s an actual IV bar next to the poolside.” In the video, the wedding guests can be seen resting with drips in their hands. These IV bars are being promoted as “hangover cures” or wellness boosters. Especially at wedding celebrations, which often involve late-night drinking and heavy meals.
Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, these drips are claimed to provide instant energy and brighten the skin. However, it is also warned that such treatment should not be done without the supervision of a health worker. Doctors warn that these can pose serious health risks, especially in non-clinical settings. But, these things are rarely followed during wedding celebrations.

More than 39 lakh people have watched the video. After this, many people gave strong reactions below the video. Some wrote that what is the next open heart surgery? Another viewer wrote, “No matter how much you glorify it, it is not right. You are destroying your own body.” Some people questioned the legality and safety of IV drips at private events. Some others demanded that those organizing such events in wedding celebrations should be arrested. Another viewer asked when did the IV drip come into the picture when an Indian wedding was all about singing, dancing and puja.
