This age-old remedy involves drinking alcohol to alleviate the symptoms of a hangover – but does it really work? And if so, how can you make your own hair of the dog drink at home?

Origins of Hair of the Dog

The phrase "hair of the dog" is thought to have originated from an old belief that putting hair from a rabid dog's bite onto the wound would prevent infection. Over time, this idea evolved into using alcohol as a cure for various ailments, including hangovers.

While there isn't much scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of hair-of-the-dog remedies, many people swear by them. The theory behind this approach is that consuming more alcohol helps to ease withdrawal symptoms and replenish depleted neurotransmitters in your brain.
