hair of the dog that bit you Would this expression be used in AmE to mean a hang over beverage? Are there other ways to say that?

Re: hair of the dog that bit you In BrE, this phrase is so well-used that we rarely finish it. We usually just call that drink "hair of the dog".

Re: hair of the dog that bit you Do you use "hair of the cat" to mean a non-alcoholic hang over beverage?

Re: hair of the dog that bit you No. Never. It's "hair of the dog", that's it. Originally Posted by ostap77 Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
