    You mean a shoey? The famously Australian tradition?

    Hawaii dropped the ball by not being known as the state where you drink like 15 varying sized shot glasses

    Yeah I guess people here don’t get that germans drink from a glass boot, not a real boot that was on your foot before.

    Especially if you’ve ever had cheap Grappa, it tastes like you drank it out of an old boot! Ha ha ha!

    It’s called a shoey not a shister

    The German practice started in the mid-1800s just before Italy became a unified country.

    Italy is a lot newer than people think.

    Germany is known for drinking out of a boot…? I think you’re confused

    German here….. what?

    You’re getting things confused because it wasn’t Italy that made Germany be known for that, but the German movie [Das Boot] that did.

    I guess Italy thought they were too classy for boots! Meanwhile, Germany’s over there like, ‘Hold my beer… and my footwear!’
