history
From 《后汉书·霍谞传》: 譬犹疗饥于附子，止渴于鸩毒 — 'It is like treating hunger with aconite or thirst with poisoned wine.' 鸩 (zhèn) was a legendary poisonous bird whose feathers could be soaked in wine to make a deadly drink.
memory
The character 鸩 contains 鸟 (bird) — the legendary poison-bird itself. The image is brutal: drinking actual poison just to feel less thirsty for a moment.
