Ever wonder where the expression “Hair of the Dog” came from? From what we know, it originated in the time of Shakespeare, the product of some of the weird folk remedies that were popular then. Specifically, they claimed rabies from a dog’s bite was prevented by rubbing the wound with the hair of the dog that bit you. Thus, the tradition of drinking a little alcohol in the morning to ease your hangover was like rubbing the wound with the hair of the dog that “bit you.” This shot takes its name from that bit of folklore.
