Hair of the Dog Reimagined

The Hair of the Dog: Hangover Cure? More like Hoax.

Posted by Boisson Staff on

We've all heard the phrase "hair of the dog"—the age-old remedy that suggests the best way to cure a hangover is to have a little more of what caused it in the first place. But while it may have its roots in folklore, science tells us that drinking more alcohol only delays the inevitable. C’mon you didn’t really believe that, did you? 

Well, what if we could enjoy life without the repercussions? Cue the world of non-alcoholic wines, spirits, and aperitifs—where indulgence meets wellness, and the morning-after regret is a thing of the past.

The Origins of Hair of the Dog

The full saying, "hair of the dog that bit you," comes from an old belief that applying hair from a rabid dog to a bite wound could prevent rabies. Over time, it evolved into a metaphor for consuming alcohol to ease a hangover. While some people swear by it, the truth is that drinking more alcohol simply prolongs withdrawal symptoms rather than alleviating them. (Ie. It is the worst method of trying to feel better the next day.)

Break the Cycle

Rather than relying on the hair of the dog to get through the morning after a night out, why not enjoy the best parts of drinking without any of the downsides? Thanks to the new wave of amazing NA beverages, it's now possible to sip and savor without sacrificing your wellness.

Non-alcoholic wines and spirits have evolved far beyond their sugary, uninspired predecessors. Crafted with complexity, depth, and nuanced flavors, these drinks replicate the experience of traditional cocktails, wines, and aperitifs—minus the alcohol. Whether you're enjoying a crisp, alcohol-free sauvignon blanc, a botanical-forward gin alternative, or a rich, complex aperitif, there's no need for a next-day recovery plan.
