Oh I know the true meaning of the phrase and the old band by the same name. I was just curious who else knew.

The complete phrase is "hair of the dog that bit you," and refers to the practice of having a drink to help soothe a hangover.

Yeah, you wake up with a massive hangover and drink what you had last night or a Bloody Mary. Some drink a warm beer but I can't stand that.

Yeah, the drinking/hangover thing. But also a great song by Nazareth!!! Not sure why they call it that though- other than I guess it can also mean revenge

Yes, I have heard the phrase. I will not repeat what it means, b/c all of the other P&S's have already done so.

Sure. My alcoholic father lived by it. It's trying to cure last night's hangover by waking up and drinking more of the same.

Yes, it refers to the practice of, when hungover, drinking what one drank the previous evening, in an attempt to cure the hangover.

No, and I couldn't imagine what it means, is it one of those small town bumpkin sayings?
