Subject: Snakebite Category: Miscellaneous
|
A popular drink originating in the UK made by mixing half a pint of cider with half a pint of lager. Snakebite and Black is the same but with a shot of blackcurrant cordial included. This drink is often hard to find (at least made properly) in the US.
It was adopted by goths in the late eighties/early nineties due in part to the purple color of Snakebite and Black and also due to its former position as a cheap, lethal student favorite. (Hence the term "snakebite.")
There are many who say that this drink can get one drunk quickly or that it can cause one to become nauseous. However, this is due primarily to over indulgence of a tasty drink that has a significant alcohol content.
