The St George’s Spider Naevi Club was a student drinking club. To be initiated into the club, members, including dental students, had to be able to drink a pint of beer in no more than seven seconds or seven pints of beer in an hour. Members of the club were required to wear the club tie ( 22163 – condition, well-worn and beer stained), featuring a line of seven telangiectasis like red motifs, every Thursday. If a member was apprehended not wearing the club tie on a Thursday ‘the drinks were on them’. Little is recorded of the Spider Naevi Club and its membership in the illustrious history of St George’s University of London. The significance of the spider naevi (first described by the English physician Erasmus Wilson in 1869) may be the association between such features in the skin and alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. The seven naevi in the design of the tie are understood to a reference to the requirements for initiation into the club.
