The
secret to drinking from the boot is to point the toe sideways. When the
toe is pointed downward, the boot cannot be easily emptied. When the
toe is pointed upwards, the liquid flows out of the boot very quickly
and uncontrollably, usually spilling all over the drinker.
The German
custom of drinking for a boot shaped drinking vessel supposedly started
as a German army tradition during World War I. Soldiers would pass
around a leather boot of “bier” prior to engaging the enemy. It was
considered good luck to flick the beer boot before and after drinking
from it. Americans soldiers were introduced to the custom of drink from
a glass beer boot while stationed in Germany after World War II. There
is a trick to drinking from a beer boot as to not get showered with
beer if the toe of the boot is pointed in the wrong direction. The
American soldiers had great fun with the beer boots and the fine German
beer during their time in Germany . Many of them brought back beer
boots and beer steins with them on their return to United States .
Beer boots saw a rise in popularity with the release of the
movie BEERFEST by the folks from the Broken Lizard comedy group. In
this movie beer boots were used in a beer drinking competition that was
no doubt repeated countless times on college campuses after the movies
was released.
