After winning his Formula 1 race on September 12th, Daniel Ricciardo celebrates his victory at the 2021 Grand Prix by drinking champagne out of both of his racing shoes. More details on how this ritual began can be found here.
Should he continue to drink out of his sweaty shoes? According to this article, Dr. Vincent Ho say while alcoholic drinks inhibit the growth of bacteria, the sugary content in wine and champagne promotes it, which can lead to pneumonia and gastrointestinal illnesses.
For those who want to do a shoey, they can do so safely by drinking out of a cup stuck in an origami-made shoe. Yes, there are even sneakers made specifically for racecar driving. Ricciardo has a shoe sponsorship with Puma.
Fun fact: Did you know that racecar is a palindrome? Try spelling it backward. RADAR is another.
