"Headache and fatigue are the things that you'll notice the most that go away. It also helps your stomach," she added.

Gary Baumgarten of 1010 WINS' spoke with several bar patrons on what they think of the hangover tablet.

"I'm actually concerned that this is going to bring a whole new breed of binge drinkers to New York and people are going to think that it's OK to go out and binge drink because there will be no ramifications in the future," Bret Golds said.

"What are the side effects? There have to be side effects," another bar patron asked.

Blowfish contains several common treatments, including aspirin, caffeine, and a stomach-soothing agent.
