Monday 17 September Man bites and kills venomous snake in central India Rai Singh feared the snake was about to bite him when he attacked the poisonous creature File photo: Now, animal rights campaigners are calling for greater understanding of snakes. Some proprietors refuse to serve snakebites because of how drunk and violent people sometimes become after consuming them. In June, , former U. President Bill Clinton was refused the drink when he ordered one at a pub in Harrogate , North Yorkshire. It is essentially original research , since I have just condensed what has been debated here and applied a little logic to the matter.

As with most OR , it could be complete rubbish. Feel free to delete what I wrote, or better yet, find some proof for what has been stated by either side or my middle of the road summary, and cite it. I tried, but the only references I could find to it being illegal were excerpts from the Wikipedia article itself. Lots of references to real bites from snakes. But nothing that supports or denies either side's claim.

If some bartender tells you it's illegal, ask him or her to cite the actual law be sure not to be a smart alec about it so you can look it up for us. My understanding of the UK situation is this: Conversely, snakebite and black is technically an illegal drink to serve because of a law that public houses must serve drinks in certain measures e.

Check near the bar next time you're in a UK pub, they have a plaque on display somewhere with the basics on it. Now, a snakebite and black features slightly less than half a pint of beer, the same of cider, and some blackcurrant cordial. Technically these are not UK legal measures for serving alcohol in a public house - so this drink is, in fact, not legal.

I work in a popular chain of student bars nationwide and the offical line is that it isent 'illegal' to sell snakebite, and indeed we do sell it mixed.. However we have the right not to sell it if we choose, usually after 9pm on a weekend, Because people can drink it very quickly and get very drunk. Some possibly useful history: For some reason, the tabloid papers especially The Sun as I recall picked up on this "new killer drink" and ran several stories about how someone dropped dead after drinking one and similar nonsense. It was after this that the snakebite gained its reputation, and many pubs put up signs saying "No Snakebites".

Although the tabloids have long since moved on to other targets, snakebite's reputation remains along with various incorrect statements about it being illegal to sell. I have never known a bar not to serve snakebite or snakebite and black, not to say this doesn't happen, it just hasn't been my experience. However, when I was a university there was a variant known as 'turbo diesil' where two shots of vodka where added.

This is obviously a 'leathal' mix an would only be severed in the diy form ie, snakebite and black diesil with a separate double vodka. Therefore, it's all legal. But the term 'he was drinking snakebite's all night' has stuck and because of this the drink now has a certain reputation, a reputation that only nutters drink snakebite's.

I've added several citation needed tags to the article. From what has been said above, it would appear that it is not illegal to serve in the UK there appears to be a reference for this. The article makes the suggestion that perhaps since it is a mix of beer and cider it need be served in the measures for beer.

Thus, I've put in a citation needed tag for that line. Personally, I am dubious that it is more intoxicating or substantially easier to drink than straight cider or beer. There might be another reason for the reluctance of some premises to sell this beverage. Round our way Snakebites were half hard cider and half strong lager, preferably Strongbow and Carlsberg Special brew.

The relatively high alcohol content and ease of drinking did make it a powerful beverage. Bartenders would usually be wary of groups of teenagers ordering Snakebites. Lots of pubs would occasionally refuse to serve the drink because of the reputation but there was no legal ban. Here it says that Snakebite with black is sometimes called the poor man's Black Velvet, but Black velvet is Stout generally Guiness with champagne, with Poor man's Black velvet being Stout with Cider.

If no one opposes, I'm editing the page. With Blue Sourz Known for it's very high alcohol content. I have added this commentary in as I was a student in London and Scotland from to I have drunk this in Gibraltar, London, Dundee, Edinburgh and various other places I can and cannot remember. This is amazing in itself. From what I remember it tasted vaguely like mouthwash but after 2 or 3 of these you just didn't care. Since there has been no citation added I removed the text. As well as no citation, I personally have been to uni's in the north and south of england and have never heard of Green monster, and when I checked online I only could find cocktails called Green Monster, never a snakebite mixer I found one on google.

I believe I was present at the invention of the Green Monster, an informal very!
