"Snake wine becomes snake corpse wine! 8 poisonous snakes were poisoned after drinking a glass of wine for 22 years, why are they so poisonous?

Snake wine, as a traditional medicinal liquor, is believed to have the miraculous effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Mr. Xie was fascinated by the mysterious charm of this fine wine and decided to make it himself.
Under the guidance of a veteran brewmaster, Mr. Xie began his snake wine making journey. He carefully selected eight highly venomous snakes and sealed them in the wine jar according to the traditional method.

It turns out that the toxins in this snake wine are not so easily eliminated by alcohol. Moreover, if the jar is not well sealed and the alcohol volatilizes, then the toxins come alive again. Also, the pathogens carried by snakes are not fuel-efficient lamps, they can live in alcohol for years.
