The devil tried to use that scripture to have Jesus jump from the mountain, but Jesus replied "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
So, although, God has promised to protect us if we drink deadly things, that doesn't mean we should go ahead tempting God by intentionally drinking deadly things. The same thing applies to picking up serpents...

Is it tempting God to speak in tongues, or to try to cast out demons, or to lay hands on the sick and find out if they recover? And the serpent sign says they shall
take up serpents! That doesn't sound accidental.
