Snake venom wine the latest aphrodisiac?

By Cindy Steinle

Want to increase your virility on your next date? Pick up a bottle of this wine from Viet Nam.

From the Times of Malta:
A village in Vietnam is producing snake and scorpion wine and shipping it worldwide.
The venomous cobra snake is used to make the snake wine. This picture shows how the snake is preserved to have its poison dissolve in the rice wine. Because snake venoms are protein-based, they are inactivated by the denaturing effects of ethanol, and thus are no more dangerous.

Instead, the liquor is considered healthy and seemingly has many health benefits.

Snake and scorpion wines are also known as a natural medicine used to treat different health problems such as back pain, rheumatism, lumbago and other health conditions.

These rice-based liquors are also considered to be a strong natural aphrodisiac.

I think I'll stick to the stuff in the box.
