Snakebite
의미: A drink mixing lager and cider; sometimes with blackcurrant.
Snakebite is half lager, half cider—an infamous student drink known for getting people drunk quickly and cheaply. Adding blackcurrant makes it a 'snakebite and black' or 'diesel.' Many pubs refuse to serve it, claiming it's too intoxicating (though the alcohol content is the same as the components).
