Hair of the dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"Hair of the dog" is a colloquial expression in the English language predominantly used to refer to alcohol that is consumed with the aim of lessening the effects of a hangover. The expression originally referred to a method of treatment of a rabid dog bite by placing hair from the dog in the bite wound.[1] The use of the phrase as a metaphor for a hangover treatment dates back to the time of William Shakespeare[citation needed]. 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 within 24 hours to soothe the nerves. 'If this dog do you bite, soon as out of your bed, take a hair of the tail the next day.'" He also cites two apocryphal poems containing the phrase, one of which is attributed to Aristophanes. It is possible that the phrase was used to justify an existing practice, and the idea of Latin: similia similibus curantur ("like cures like") dates back at least to the time of Hippocrates. In the 1930's cocktails known as Corpse Revivers were served in hotels.[2]

anyone interested in a fantasy football league. it'd be a bunch of amateurs, so no pressure to be ultra competitive or anything, just play the entire season. I need about 7 teams for a yahoo league.

Sure; the league I used to be in fell apart when we all got licensed and got real jobs

excellent. That makes four of us. I might have a fifth. If I can get Westend and UT in, that would give us 7.

Yahoo league?

I agree for the most part. We have had some frustrating seasons.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Yupp it's been clean arguments so far.

That's mild way of putting NDs recent seasons, but you'll never see me admit that on the main board.

 

[NDHoosier101]

It'd be too painful.
