Hair of the dog???
Why do they call it that??? I wonder where the hell that originates from? Hmm maybe I’ll look it up, anyways I was sooo hungover today And the last thing I want do when I wake up feeling like crap is drink! Or is it? Someone once told me the best cure for a hangover is a little bit more booze. Some girl once told me that if I swallow cum before going to bed I won’t wake up with a hangover. Maybe, I dunno, I’ll try that theory out next time and let you know. Anyhow Happy “BIG GAME” Day I am going to pig out today!!! I am making home made spicy and sweet thai chicken wings and my special chilli nachos and BBQ steak sammies and pineapple cake, and tempura onion rings. I will have a food hangover next. The chilli is simmering right now and it smells sooooo good. I love to eat “Guy food” I hope everyone has a happy and safe Super Sunday Kisses Ashley

“Hair of the dog that bit you” comes from an erroneous method of treatment of a rabid dog bite by placing hair from the dog in the bite wound. The use of the phrase as a metaphor for a hangover treatment dates back to the time of William Shakespeare.
Ebenezer Cobham Brewer writes in the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1898): “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.’”
“Take the hair, it’s well written,
Of the dog by which you’re bitten;
Work off one wine by his brother,
And one labour with another …
Cook with cook, and strife with strife:
Business with business, wife with wife.”
– Aristophanes
