What does it mean when you lose your hat?
In the new standalone version of the game on Steam, I've seen people get their hat shot off their head in this game, sometimes I even do it without realizing, and sometimes my own hat gets shot off quite unexpectedly.
But, I have no idea what it relates to in-game. Near as I can tell it doesn't have to do with headshots, because I recall doing this with pistols, which I do not think get damage bonuses for headshots.
So what does it mean when I lose my hat? And, as a secondary question, do I get my hat back if I drink enough whiskey?

After reading some update information from the steam page for FoF updates, it appears that hats flying off actually mean something now.
From the page:
New feature: hat-shot.
As you know, hats fall now when hitting head, so it's completely related to damage. This feature will continue the same, but an additional way to drop hats will be added.
A hat-shot will be feasible by just shooting at enemy's hat, without causing any damage. It just requires a new hitbox that covers the hat area.
And what do you gain by dropping other people hats, may you wonder? Just the pleasure of seeing some poor hat-less bastard? No, it will grant some extra notoriety, so to speak, it allows some extra depth as players may wanna drop enemies hat before giving them a ticket to hell. Please watch this video if you wanna check a movie version of it.
Additionally, a new achievement will be added that consist into dropping a few other player's hats without causing any damage, during same life.
