To Drink The Hair Of The Dog That Bit Me The Next Day~?
I read how to cure a hangover and three people said something about drinking the hair of the dog that bit you??
What does it mean? xx
Answers:
the saying actually comes from long ago , meaning the cure for an illness. when someone was bitten by a dog, they would round up that dog and cut some of it's hair off. the hair was placed into the wound then lit on fire. (cauterized it ) It had to be the hair of the dog that bit you.
Alcohol is the dog that bit you, so drinking it's hair is basically drinking more alcohol, such as a bloody Mary (good morning drink).
theory is a little pain killer will kill the major pain....the hangover.
It means what spex said.
But its a realllly bad idea. If you have a hang over dont drink anymore alcohol, take some asprin, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep.
