cautiously released The trick to drinking from the Boot is to hold the Boot so that the Toe is pointed either to your left or right preventing an air bubble from building up in the Toe Others prefer to turn the Boot right before the air bubble comes The solution how to drink from a beer Boot the trick to avoiding a shamefully dampened shirt is to release the bubble slowly Start drinking from the beer Boot with the Toe pointed directly away from you As the bubble moves down the glass gradually rotate the Boot 90 degrees in either direction so that by the time the bubble reaches the Toe the Toe is pointing to the right or left This lessens the pressure ensuring a smooth drinking experience The trick is to slowly turn the beer Boot as you reach that last bit of beer in the Toe thereby avoiding pressure build up and the unexpected embarrassing beer shower that results Drinking with friends let your unexpecting beer Buddy try to figure out the secret on his own Itll make for a great laugh and he wont forget how to do it the next time Whats with the name Das Boot in the United States we use the term Das Boot to describe a beer Boot but that actually translates to boat in German
