| Does 'hair of the dog' actually work after drinking alcohol? What experts say about the hangover 'cure' |
| 2022-05-01 |
| [FoxNews] The medieval saying 'the hair of the dog that bit you' has been used as a rumored hangover cure, but here's why you shouldn’t fight alcohol with alcohol DOES 'HAIR OF THE DOG' WORK? "The short answer is yes," said Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency physician in South Carolina. "The feeling of a hangover is due to the receptors being without alcohol," he told Fox News Digital. "Many of the symptoms [including headache and gastrointestinal upset] are minimized if the alcohol is reintroduced and the receptors are no longer absent of alcohol." "In a way, the ‘hair of the dog’ does actually work in the short term," Perry continued. "That being said, it doesn’t fix a hangover, but rather delays the symptoms." |

| #6 I second what Frank said. Lots of water. Fresh air while sleeping is a help too. |

| #4 Hair of the dog, in ancient Greece, was a rabies treatment (in modern times, only two known cases of rabies have been non-fatal) The way it worked was you got hair from the tail of the rabid dog (what fun!) burned that and consumed the ashes. He, it was worth a try, right? |
