Hair of the dog???!
Answers: Its that time of year when we all want to go out and enjoy a drink or three.....and suffer for it the next morning. But this has made me wonder....where does the saying 'Hair of the Dog' come from? Can anyone enlighten me? Cheers!!!
The 'hair of the dog' is part of a longer expression. The original idiom is, 'The hair of the dog that bit you.'
This goes back to the old belief that the hair of a dog that bites someone could be used as an antidote against the bad effects of the bite. By extension, another drink or two after a drinking binge would be the cure for a hangover.
