Do you think beer can only be drunk by cup? Recently, drinking with shoes has become popular
A while ago, Harry Styles was touring Australia, following local tradition and drinking shoe wine Shoey.
The operation is very simple, and it does not need to be a ritual, that is, fill your shoes with wine and drink them all
In fact, Ha Scroll refused at that time...
But because the fan's shouts were too enthusiastic, Ha Roll took off the Adidas X Gucci sneakers worth nearly 10,000 yuan while spitting "This is one of the most disgusting traditions I've ever seen" and drank it with his eyes closed.
Hey, he just burst his crotch during last month's performance, which is really a disaster
But it's his own shoes that he drinks from the bad guys! Some people are not so lucky.
Just a few days before Haju's performance, Post Malone (the one who sings White Iverson) also experienced Shoey at an Australian concert, and he drank hot shoes thrown by fans...
But this is not the first time for Post Malone, and it can be said that it is quite experienced.
Since his first experience with a pair of Presto at the Australian Festival in 2018, Shoey has been part of his concert list.
It was even made into a graffiti of attractions by artists with hearts
Post-Malone's newcomer Tyla Yaweh was not spared, and she was forced to come once during a collaborative performance. It's really hard to work...
Retro hipster boy Tyler, The Creator has also had the misfortune to experience it.
But the Grammy-winning Kacey Musgraves is much smarter.
Shoey was coaxed by fans during a performance in Sydney in 2019, and casually took out a pair of crystal shoes prepared in advance and drank a shoe of tequila
In addition to European and American singers, Shoey's lethal influence has spread to various fields.
Even film and television superstar and male god Hugh Grant, prosperous beauty can not escape this calamity
In short, "Shoey" has become synonymous with Turkey and Australia in the past two years.
At music performances or other public occasions, you can always see a few celebrities experience a Shoey a month.
Although Shoey is popular at music festivals, it is the racing circle that really carries it forward.
Daniel Ricciardo, an F1 driver from Australia and Australia, is not the first Shoey in racing, but he has brought this trend to the global scene.
At the 2016 German GP Grand Prix award ceremony, in order to commemorate the 100th race he participated in, he took off his sweaty and dirt-laden boots Shoey and took a round of champagne, which can be said to steal the championship limelight.
Since then, Shoey has also been Daniel Ricciardo's award-winning signature performance.
The Red Bull team not only drinks himself, but also invites teammates and others to drink Red Bull with their shoes.
Everyone: Listen to me, thank you~ (except sponsor Red Bull)
Of course, there are also people who have the courage to refuse!
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas turned down the invitation in disgust when he won the 2017 Austrian GP, leaving the sheep in a daze and nodding fiercely, and some of the big players were not so necessary to follow
Shoey Origins and Culture
So the question arises: whose little head came up with the fact that "drinking with shoes" came up with?
Legend has it that drinking water with shoes or boots can bring good luck, dating back to the Middle Ages.
A story circulated in Ethiopia once wrote that the Virgin Mary met a thirsty puppy on the road and immediately took off her shoes and filled them with water for the dog to drink.
It can be said to be a benchmark of kindness. (Huh?)
In folklore, drinking with shoes began in Germany in the 1800s.
During World War I, German soldiers were said to pass leather boots filled with beer before battle, and flick them before and after drinking in hopes of good luck.
There is another legend about the army and shoe wine. The result was the birth of a boot-shaped beer boot, the beer boot, Bierstiefel.
Legend has it that a general somewhere more than a century ago promised his troops that if they won a battle, they would drink beer with their boots.
Later, in order to prevent the beer from soaking the boots, the general had a glassmaker make boot wine glasses out of glass, fulfilling his promise. From then on, soldiers began to like to celebrate victories with beer boots.
Now, at gatherings in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, boot beer is a challenge for traditional festivals.
Boot-shaped wine glasses containing 2 to 4 liters of beer are passed clockwise from one guest at the table to the next, and the container begins to bubble when it is almost to the bottom of the boot, causing the bubbling drinker to play or punish accordingly.
At this time, Shoey's historical research came to the American side. In the United States of the 20th century, it was popular to drink champagne from women's slippers.
The act is said to have originated in 1902 in Everleigh, a hospital in Chicago, USA.
At that time, a dancer's slippers fell to the ground and were picked up by one of the entourage of Prince Henry of Prussia, who drank champagne with these slippers.
The earliest known celebrity drinking shoe wine was in 1951 when American actress Tallulah Bankhead was photographed sipping champagne from her heels at a press conference at the Ritz Hotel in London.
Compared with the romantic mood in the United States, Shoey's origin in Australia is more straight.
It originated from a group of fans who drank in this way to celebrate the victory of the game, and then it was passed by adventurous punk musicians to bars large and small.
Shoey also has a chain of contempt in the lap
In fact, no matter where the Shoey culture originated, it represents the meaning of overcoming adversity and celebrating victory.
And this behavior is obviously more popular in Australia. But in fact, Shoey's reputation is very polar in the local area.
In Turkey, some people feel that Shoey represents a self-deprecating sense of humor, adventurous spirit and drinking culture. Some people find it disgusting and "bloody," so making the country famous is an embarrassment.
First of all, it is too unhygienic and is likely to affect physical health.
In order to verify, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation even commissioned the medical school research institute to conduct relevant tests, and found that whether it was sneakers or casual shoes, some harmless bacteria were found, such as Bacillus subtilis, one of the raw materials of natto or Korean bean paste, and Micrococcus garcinia, which can be used to test antibiotics.
And after pouring alcoholic beverages into it for a minute, I found Staphylococcus aureus. This superbug can cause pneumonia, food poisoning, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe sepsis and death.
When tested with sparkling wines such as Highball and champagne, which everyone likes to drink, the situation is even worse.
It's hard not to think that former British racer Brundle missed the British GP race the week after drinking Shoey.
Secondly, it is completely torturous!!!
Not to mention that the smell of feet is not big, whether it is good or not, people must put their wet shoes back on after drinking, which is quite outrageous.
Of course, if someone wants Shoey, we won't stop it. But there's a lot of attention here.
It doesn't matter what alcohol you drink, what you drink with what shoes you drink. There can be a chain of contempt here. To put it bluntly, it's shoe circle culture.
With boots such as cargo boots and cowhide boots, Shoey is a real guy. After all, in terms of breathability and capacity, boots are a hotbed of athlete's foot and bacteria, a paradise for wine putty.
The second is the ruthless man who takes Shoey. Because slippers have almost no storage space, it is difficult to implement, mainly when drinking, it looks eye-catching.
The lowest level is the sneakers. Those who drink Adidas look down on Nike's, and those who drink dirty Vans look down on old Converse.
But they are not rough enough in the hearts of the boot party and are regarded as Shoey flower racks.
But no matter what kind of shoes you use to put this happy glass of wine, you will enjoy the joy of the moment. "Alcohol may be man's greatest enemy, but the Bible also says, love your enemy."
And what does it matter what the enemy looks like?
Those who dare to drink this cup of Shoey are brave and reckless people.
