Why do people want to drink Dog hair?
when your hungover why do people say to drink a glass of dog hair? i dont understand how that can help.
Answers:
You don't drink dog hair,its just a saying,its
Hair of the dog, it means drink a glass of what you was drinking the night before and it should get rid of the Hangover!!!!!!.
It means " hair of the dog that bit them" which means they need to drink a little alcohol to get rid of a hang over
On the slim chance that you are being serious.
It is a metaphor. You are hungover, like as if alcohol was a dog and now it has bitten you (the hangover).
So to clear it you take just a little bit more alcohol, that is just a bit more of the dog that bit you. A bit of a dog? A hair is a small bit of a dog.
The correct expression is Hair of the Dog, meaning have a little of the dog that bit you. If you drank too much have a little more and it will make you feel better. A little like homoeopathy,they practice that if something has poisioned you have a little more and it will put things right.
its not dog hair its hair of the dog its a saying that if you have a hangover drink a glass beer/cider/lager its suppose to get rid of your hangover and set you up for the day if that don't help 2 paracetamol
It's "Hair of the Dog"
"In Scotland it is a popular belief that a few hairs of the dog that bit you applied to the wound will prevent evil consequences. Applied to drinks, it means, if overnight you have indulged too freely, take a glass of the same wine next morning to soothe the nerves. 'If this dog do you bite, soon as out of your bed, take a hair of the tail in the morning.'"
Hair of the dog!!! best hair of the dog that i have ever found is a large cold glass of cider. I don't normally drink cider, but for a hangover nothing beats it!!!!
