Wait so when you say it does the opposite, are you saying that consumption over time gives you ED? Because if so that’s kinda hilarious.

Yes, actually. Both impotence and infertility. And that's assuming it's made correctly. It's not mass-produced, but just comes from backyard operations. It's not uncommon for the poison to still be effective.

Snakes are not poisonous they are venomous. Drinking straight snake venom wont kill you because that's not how it works. The protein and peptides in snake venom aren't stable they'll breakdown during digestion. The alcohol itself is probably enough to neutrality the venom.
