> blackcurrant cordial would be used for snakebites

Of the actual snake variety, or are you meaning some kind of drink?

[dfawcus]

A drink, larger and cider.

One can have a 'snakebite and black' adding a dash of black currant, also a 'black nasty' being a 'snakebite, pernod and black currant'.

In the UK, it's a 50-50 mix of larger and cider. I guess some people mix in some cordial too.

Both replies mentioned "larger" (and cider) so I googled it and it's just a typo for "lager"

[doloputer]

Very common typo, with the way it's pronounced in some english speaking countries. (there's probably a joke in there somewhere about pints vs half-litres)
