של בחור שוקע למאי הלכתא דתניא חבית שנתגלה אע"פ ששתו ממנה תשעה ולא מתו לא ישתה ממנה עשירי מעשה היה ששתו ממנו תשעה ולא מתו ושתה עשירי ומת אמר ר' ירמיה זהו שוקע

The venom of a young one sinks to the bottom. What practical application does this have? As it is taught: If a barrel was uncovered, even if nine persons drank from it and did not die, the tenth person is still forbidden to drink from it. It happened indeed that nine people drank from it and did not die but the tenth one died; and R. Jeremiah said: It was a case of the venom sinking to the bottom.
