MEDICAL DICTIONARY
Hair of the dog: An alcoholic chaser reputed to relieve a hangover , usually needed the morning after imbibing too much alcohol . There is no scientific evidence as to the efficacy of this time-honored treatment for a hangover.
The saying originated in the belief that a cure for hydrophobia ( rabies ) or any disease contracted from a dog bite consisted of taking a hair of the dog that bit you and placing it in the wound.
