* Misato Katsuragi from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' 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.
* Mimi from ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'' believes in this, and always has a little "Russian Water" for Rin's usual HangoverSensitivity induced headache.

* ''Film/Alien40thAnniversaryShorts''. "Night Shift" opens with a SpaceTrucker 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 RevealShot of an alien facehugger, showing why he was passed out in the first place.
* ''Film/AChristmasStory'' On Christmas morning the Old Man is rubbing his head and grimacing as if he has a hangover. Apparently a morning bottle of wine is a Christmas tradition at Ralphie's house. After a glass of wine he is back to his usual self.

* In ''Literature/AllTheKingsMen'', Willie Stark didn't drink until his first campaign for Governor. Then, one night, he drinks for the first time in his life. Suffering from the hangover of his life, Sadie Burke recommends the hair of the dog. He then delivers the speech of his life.



* Appears more than twice in the Literature/{{Sten}} series, but in ''Vortex'', the [[DrinkingGame/TVTropes 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.

* Literature/{{Discworld}} has wine made from re-annual grapes (which are planted this year and harvested ''last year'').

* In the Creator/JohnGrisham novel ''Literature/TheChamber'', Adam Hall goes to question the retired FBI agent who arrested his grandfather, Sam Cayhill. The FBI agent is drinking when Adam arrives, and invites Adam to join him. Adam wakes up the next morning hungover and is offered a Bloody Mary with breakfast to ease the pain, but declines. The FBI agent doesn't.

* In the film version of ''Film/TheShining'', Jack, a recovering alcoholic who by this point is just one push away from going completely insane, sits at the bar and asks the (ghost) bartender for "the hair of the dog that bit me." The bartender's fulfilment of his request is what finalizes the Overlook Hotel's hold over him.
* The first thing [[TheAlcoholic Eddie Valiant]] from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' does after being woken up after a night of DrowningMySorrows is to grab a fresh bottle of Wild Turkey and start pounding it down.
