That's fucking digusting, who thought drinking beer from a shoe was cool??
Aussies. And you'll do it with them, if you're ever lucky enough to be near their a celebrations
I know from Daniel Ricciardo popularized it in Formula 1
Id rather drink a fosters than beer out of a shoe
I'd rather drink my own fermented piss than drink a fucking fosters.
That's both Australian and I Australian at the same time. Well done. You've broken Aussie stereotypes forever. A real "yeah, nah"
Just a whole country of old Greg’s.
I've done didgeridooie
We found a prosthetic leg in the park and my mate did a legie from it
I've seen blokes do them through raw fresh fish too
That last one just sounds awful for the fish
Does this hurt the fishie?
According to Nirvana they don't have any feelings
From what I know it's mostly something you do as the loser of a bet.
It's not about being cool. It was a statement.

Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies
Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine
Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion
There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun
I get that you're upset about these things, but they don't really have anything to do with this post.
Even the comment you're replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.
I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth
It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh
I've never actually done a shoey
I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn't have anything to do with the issues you listed.
To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.
I don't want to soak my shoes and have to keep wearing them, I buy good shoes and don't want to ruin them, and I sure as shit wouldn't do one from my work boots
Its funny when you're young, drunk and stupid. Turns out its actually pretty dangerous since shoes have a lot of bacteria that you shouldnt be drinking.
Oh, it definitely isn't on my to-do list, but it's not the worst thing in the world
I guess you're right about that, FistingEnthusiast
Those all sound like great past times, but I draw the line at drinking out of a shoe
and yes
It's a fucking jokeAh yes, the two choices: drinking beer from a shoe or committing genocide.
Sir, this is a discussion about drinking beer from a shoe.
