Q: Is it dangerous to drink the alcohol with the huge cobras inside?

Do people actually drink that nowadays or is it just for show? Is it part of traditional medicine?

I've seen it before. Is it dangerous? Probably not too much. I think they believe that it will make them healthier or stronger because of the venom. Sort of like how wine is supposed to be healthy, just a little bit every day. I don't know if it's cool or just crazy.

It's not dangerous, just don't drink too much and usually it's for man to drink only.

It's part of traditional medicine. They take cobar as the material to cure patient. these are only things I know about this kind of drink, can't tell much.

I like a snowy Happy new year, rather than a no sky one...Beijing's time to ban the cars---the only solution for the time being...

Venom is only dangerous if it gets into the bloodstream. You can drink gallons of it and be fine as long as you don't have a cut in your mouth. And the chemicals in the alcohol break down the chemical compounds of the venom so you'll be fine. Snake Wine has quite a kick to it. My father-in-law always buys me a big jug it.

Dam , now I've heard stories of guys shooting each other in arguements over who gets the worm in a tequila bottle,,,ha ha ,, a snake in a bottle would be the mother of all worms,, do you get to eat it ?

beaufortninja:

I wouldn't recommend it. It'd probably be like the stuff in those specimen jars that scientists have.

Yeah it won't hurt you, but it can peel the paint off the walls.

The real question is, has anyone seen the wine where they put a snake and a bunch of baby mice in a jar and wait till the snakes starts to eat them before pouring in the wine?

A:Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do.  I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....Don't assume that many people speak English though and learn some Chinese. Don't speak much about politics unless you want to praise Chinese system.  -- Natalie363
