Usually a mix of lager and cider great to get you out of your tree very quickly - or alternatively step on one

Easiest way is probably to step on it or pick it up. They don't like that at all! :)
But seriously, here you go -
The beer-based drink that most captured our attention in England was the Snake Bite, a mixture of ale and hard cider that is only seldom ordered in America but is quite common in the U.K. This is a refreshing mixture that you really should try, and although it's probably better suited to warmer climes, Brits order it on a regular basis in the middle of winter, as well as during the fleetingly short English summer. Simply pour a bottle of hard cider into a 20-ounce beer glass, then top it up with a sharp, dry pale ale. English pale ales work well, but American microbreweries also offer some topnotch versions of these spicy brews, so don't go crazy looking for imports. Our taxi-driving friend might have suffered from a lack of imagination, but the Brit who first thought of mixing ale and hard cider obviously had a fanciful mind.
Snake Bite
1 bottle hard cider
1 bottle pale ale
1. Pour the cider into a 20-ounce beer glass and add the pale ale.

Snakebite - the choice drink of: underagers because they can't afford anything else, students (ditto), people who want to get drunk quickly. Most likely to be found in student bars and Australian type Walkabout bars.
1/2 pint-ish cider, 1/2 pint-ish lager (doesn't matter what kind, you'll get what you're given if you're ordering this and trust me, it will be the cheapest nastiest stuff they've got).
Most people add a large slug of blackcurrant cordial to it to make it at least barely palatable (pint o snakebite and black please mate). It is very rarely ordered in half pints because it's not exactly a ladylike drink and besides it's cheaper by the pint so "ladies" don't care.
Be very aware however that when drinking the snakebite and black it turns your puke pink once you've had the obligatory after-hours chips.
(yes I was young once..........)

pinch it behind the head and get a jar with a rubber membrane. then push the venom out.
Or just blow raspberries at it at closer than 1/3 of it's body length when it hisses and rattles its tail.
Um.. I think I should say this...I was just kidding. It is best to leave snakes alone unless you are trained.

I see alot of people mixing lagers and even pale ales with cider, but here's my favorite recipe. Take your favorite stout (Guinness?) and go half and half with a hard cider (Ace & Hornsby's are great). I enjoy this mix much more than the lighter brews.
