Any alcoholic beverage, the consumption of which is supposed to clear up one's hangover from previous drinking (but will tend to have the opposite effect in reality). Origins of the phrase date back to medieval times, when hairs from a biting dog were put in the bite wound in the belief that this promoted healing.
Lloyd: What will you be drinking, sir?
Jack: Hair of the dog that bit me, Lloyd.
Lloyd: Bourbon on the rocks?
Jack: That'll do it.
Jack: Hair of the dog that bit me, Lloyd.
Lloyd: Bourbon on the rocks?
Jack: That'll do it.

Alcoholic beverage drunk the morning after a bender as a hangover cure. Time for a twelve step program.

When you are going down on someone and your beard is so long you get your own beard hair caught in your throat.
Last night I went down on her and hair of the dogged myself. I coughed up a giant hairball in the morning.
