the "Hair of the dog"

...Is an expression for trying to lessen the intensity of a drinking hang over (the next day), by having another drink of whatever you were drinking the night before. I got harangued into going to a keg party for someone's birthday (not even sure who the birthday boy was, a friend of a friend of a friend, I guess) - and needless to say, I wasn't feeling too hot the day after (this morning). I had a super bad head ache. To be expected from mass amounts of beer, especially keg beer. Anyway, I know a few people who will have a beer or two the next day to take the edge off of it. I have never really done this... After a night of drinking, the next night (or morning/afternoon), I just can't drink. I just don't want to! But I did today, ONE beer around noon-time, and I have to admit my head ache somewhat vanished... Have you ever done this? LOL
