Most Potent Drink

This was sent by an office colleague, Subrata Samanta

There are drinks and drinks and drinks.
Last Sunday in our gathering some of us had cold drinks which were on the house while most of the boys had beer.
Well, I suppose beer is considered harmless because the alcohol content is negligible. But I have seen people start talking as if they were the King of England after imbibing a few.... Many of them may have wanted to let out their feeling under the garb of drinks.
But what is the strongest or most potent drinks.
Different people will have different view but I suppose the following drinks would give a run for their money to any competitors.

Snake wine (rÆ°á"£u rắn in Vietnamese) is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. It originated in Vietnam and can be found around Southeast Asia. The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are usually not preserved for their meat. They are preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the liquor. However, because snake venom is protein-based, they are unfolded and therefore inactivated due to the influence of the denaturing effects of ethanol.

A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, often with many smaller snakes, turtles, insects, or birds, and left to steep for many months. The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups

Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood into a mixing vat with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine is done through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder. Snake meat, liver, and skin can be prepared to accompany the drinks
