Chinese Whiskey and SNAKES!?!?

My understanding (although I can’t provide a cite) is that the real danger from "snake whiskey"is hepatitis, not venom. However, if you’re still interested, there are usually a few bottles available on ebay.

Do they make any alcohol with 11-year-old zombies mummified in them? :wink:

There are those who would disagree with me, but I think much of Chinese “medicine” has precious little medicinal benefit.

You know what I mean. :rolleyes:

Bosda, got a cite for that?

We’ve been through this before. This is a bit of incorrect pedantry. Venomous is a subset of poisonous. It’s perfectly correct to refer to snakes as being poisonous; they are also venomous.

If this link to Google Books works, yes.

shudder Thanks. Oh well. I guess at least you didn’t have to worry about going blind.

I first saw the stuff in Thailand, so of course I had to have a shot of it. Didn’t give me a boner or anything. In Vietnam, they had some sort of snake shop where they wrangled cobras, so I picked up a bottle with two green snakes and a cobra.

To paraphrase Apocalypse Now, " I don’t know how you feel about this whiskey, but if you’ll take a shot, you’ll never have to prove your courage in any other way."

Would it be easier to use your hands?

Sure, but where’s the fun in that?

By “supposedly increases “potency””, he means increase a man’s potency in the Viagra sense, not the booze’s potency in the booze sense.
