I am looking for the (slang) phrase or equivalent of the word drunkenness which contains the word dog. I mean the state of someone in the morning after the hard drunkenness.

1@Adel - I believe it was "after the hard drunkenness", which makes your answer invalid. Please remember to read carefully before answering. I am not flagging your answer, but please try to be careful.– RachelJul 19, 2011 at 1:59

It's possible you are thinking of "hair of the dog". This is not the same as being drunk - it's the practice of having another alcoholic drink in the morning, in an attempt to cure your hangover from the previous night.

@igor - I am glad you got your question answered, although it was not an answer to the actual question you asked. People can get very nit-picky here, and I would hate to see you picked-on because of it.– RachelJul 19, 2011 at 1:52
You may be looking for the word "hangover"

@igor A hangover is the right word here. a sick feeling or condition that comes after drinking too much alcohol at an earlier time "The hair of the mastiff that bit you" only means trying to get rid of a hangover by drinking more alcohol. Oct 26, 2014 at 0:55
You could possibly feel "dog-eared", which is slang for "worn down".
