Quick little post about the drink that has somehow become a staple for getting drunk.
The snakebite is what you would have when you are 14 in a field with friends. It has now become subject to an regeneration and everyone is drinking it. Well actually no one is apart from my friends and i. I look at it as the drink that sends floods of mostalgia over you and allows you to concentrate in better things such as having fun. The taste isnt amazing but it allows boys and girls to drink the same drink which inspries competition between the sexes. Also it is so sweet that you end up drinking it at an amazing rate. 5 pints in an hour or so which is nuts. For readers that havent had the drink here are some tips.

1)The basic snakebite is a mixture of equal parts of lager and cider (or alternatively a 1:2 mix), typically served in pint or half-pint servings. (we are cool and have it with blaccurrent.)
2) It is common for a proprietor to refuse to serve snakebites because some people tend to drink them quickly and become drunk and belligerent, rather than there being a legal prohibition against it.
3)Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was refused the drink when he ordered one at a pub

And there we go, if it good enough fo bill clinton then it is good enough for me.
