Perhaps if you served only red wines from it...nah, then we
get into questions of kidney failure and cirrhosis. You're right.

Perhaps that decanter is used as a bed pan in some Hollywood hospitals
that cater to top movie stars :-). To make more of an impression on
your guest you might serve instead a bottle of snake wine on your
dining table. See http://www.thailandunique.com/store/...skey-c-11.html
.. For a much larger selection see http://www.thailandunique.com/store/...skey-c-11.html
.. This site is being revised, but should be shipping again soon.
Besides cobra, toad, scorpion etc wine and whiskey, they have a wide
variety of snacks to serve with it. Rhino beetles, pregnant crickets,
and buffalo dung beetles are just a few of many choices. Don't use
your best tablecloth, as there is some risk that an old great aunt may
throw up on your table.
