Are you hung over? Did you forget to drink water before bed? Do you wish to avoid the Hideous Hangover Cure? All that is no problem, no problem at all: here's some of whatever it was you drank last night! Your hangover will be over in no time flat! A classic remedy for the hangover, insofar as it dulls your ability to feel the effects of the hangover. Of course, all it does is delay the hangover by a couple of hours. The name of the trope is of course traditional: it derives from the (entirely false) superstition that if you were bitten by a dog, you could avoid rabies by applying the hair of the dog that bit you to the wound. This is Truth in Television, to some degree; as said before, it's not so much a cure as a mask. |

Appears more than twice in the Sten series, but in Vortex, the eponymous hero is suffering from a Emperor-induced hangover. Kilgour apologizes that they haven't got the "hair of the dog" that bit him, since few outside of the Emperor's inner circle drink the rare and archaic Scotch. | |

Lampshaded in David Edding's Belgariad: when this "cure" is suggested to a hung over person who has never been hung over before, he is first confused, then suspicious. | |

Occurs in Jeeves and Wooster a couple of times with Gussie ... leading him to make a few truly awful speeches/mistakes. And with Bertie in the very first episode. One of the first things Jeeves does upon arriving is to mix him up an eye-opener containing (among other things) cognac, black pepper, and a raw egg. A few seconds after Bertie downs it, his hangover is gone and he's completely awake and articulate. |

Misato Katsuragi from Neon Genesis Evangelion always gets piss-drunk after work and drinks literally gallons of beer. When she wakes up next day with a hangover, she alleviates it via Beergasm. How she manages to stave off hangover while on duty is a mystery. | |

Discworld has wine made from re-annual grapes (which are planted this year and harvested last year). Because of the temporal paradox, a character finds in Pyramids that re-annual wine gives you the hangover before you've drunk it; he's advised to "have a hair of the dog that's going to bite you". | |

During a joint review of Garzey's Wing, one line of dialog is so mind-breakingly stupid that it kills Spoony. A less stupid line a moment later causes him to pop back to life. In response to his confusion, Bennett the Sage responds "Hair of the dog?" | |

Alien 40th Anniversary Shorts. "Night Shift" opens with a Space Trucker finding his friend passed out in a trench. After reviving him, they lampshade this trope on deciding to go to the storeroom to get some pills so they can go on drinking. As they leave the trench we get a Reveal Shot of an alien facehugger, showing why he was passed out in the first place. | |

In an issue of the comic version of ALF, Gordon dreams that he hang-glides, landing in Death Valley instead of his intended destination. A bartender offers him "hair of the cat that bit him", which he gratefully accepts. (Only to discover that neither the bartender nor the bar exist, and the drink is sand.) | |
