How did drinking out of a shoe get started?

Have no clue but tuvasa has been doing it for a few years. It’s disturbing.

The Dutch, who also gave us chicken and waffles and the slave trade

If you were in a frat, you know all about drinking out of a shoe

you ever drink Baileys from a shoe??? hmmm??

This world is getting more and more weird....

I'm an old guy. For some reason, I thought it was something super rich people did on yachts. I probably saw someone do it on The Beverly Hillbillies or Gilligan's Island. That's where I got my education on things rich people do.

Didn't know sports teams were doing it.

In the 20th century, the act of drinking champagne from a lady's slipper became a shorthand for decadence and sophistication.[2] The practice is thought to have originated in 1902 at the Everleigh Club, a high-class brothel in Chicago. When a dancer's slipper fell to the floor, a member of Prince Henry of Prussia's entourage picked it up and used it to drink champagne.[3]

... The strange, once-popular practice is said to be of Russian origin, dating back to the late 19th century. It was at Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet where fans may have drunk, not necessarily Champagne, but vodka, from their favorite ballerinas’ satin slippers.

Around the same time in Belle Époque Paris, the Folies Bergère’s cabaret dancers would serve slippers of Champagne to their admirers. High Heels Daily — yes, that’s a real website — claims the practice was used to salute the female performers, positing: “Perhaps in those male-dominated times it was seen a more appropriate way of showing respect than simply grovelling at the dancers’ feet.”

By the turn of the century, the practice had spread to America — and notably to Chicago’s Everleigh Club, a brothel run by madam sisters Ada and Minna Everleigh. Theirs was a simultaneously decadent and depraved operation. The three-story Everleigh Club occupied a double mansion with a library, art gallery, ballroom, 50 bedrooms, and a good two dozen prostitutes always on call. There was a $15,000 gold-leafed piano, $12 bottles of Champagne (pricey for the time), and rooms with mirrored ceilings and $650 spittoons. It was also home to one of the most notable and reported-on drinking-Champagne-from-a-slipper incidents.

The Everleigh Club was “the most famous and luxurious house of prostitution in the country.” So of course, when Prince Henry of Prussia came to America in 1902 on a business trip, he needed to find a way to discreetly visit. The Everleigh sisters were savvy enough to oblige, and quickly put together a banquet in his honor.

In what is quite possibly an apocryphal tale, it is said the club’s best dancer, Vidette, was atop a mahogany table dancing to “The Blue Danube” waltz when it happened.“Her feet flying higher each time, legs meeting and parting like a pair of scissors possessed,” according to Karen Abbott, author of the 2008 book, “Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America’s Soul.” Eventually one of Vidette’s high-heeled silver slippers dislodged from her foot, flying across the room, hitting a Champagne bottle, and spilling some into the shoe.

A rakish man named Adolph quickly restored order — and assured Vidette could continue dancing — by quaffing the Champagne straight from her slipper. (“Boot liquor. The darling mustn’t get her feet wet,” Adolph supposedly stated.) What followed, Abbott explains, was “Prince Henry’s entire entourage arose, yanked a slipper from the nearest girl, and held it aloft. Waiters scurried about, hurriedly filling each shoe with Champagne.” ...
