What does "takes the fog out of your bones" mean?
This is a sentence from the fiction I'm reading, "The Chee Chalker" by L. RON HUBBARD.
Below is the relevant paragraph:
I guess it might mean "to warm you up," but it would be weird to be said by Sven in this situation. Sven said that to Morris, or was he just talking to himself?

Below is the relevant paragraph:
Sven watched Danton climb into his black slicker and leave.
“Give him a drink, Morris,” said Chief Danton, picking up his uniform cap.
“Something up?” said the barkeeper.
“Naw. Just a body down at Tamgas.”
“Who is it?” said Morris the barkeeper, blowing his nose on his apron.
“I dunno,” said Danton.
Morris set up a drink of rotgut. “Takes the fog out of your bones,” said Sven apologetically as he drained the glass.
“Who found it?” said Morris, faintly interested.
