A drinking tradition fresh from an Australian 19th birthday party, the "shoey" has somehow found a global stage.

It's all thanks to Australian Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo, who celebrated second place at the German Grand Prix on Sunday by drinking champagne from a shoe, a.k.a. did the "shoey" on stage.

Seemingly not content with just the spraying of champagne – as is the norm in motorsport, Ricciardo explained that he was inspired by another Aussie on the track who did the same thing recently.

"My mate Jack Miller won MotoGP a few weeks ago in Assen and did one. To be honest, from the start of the season, if I win a race this year — I'll do one," Ricciardo told NBC Sports.

"Today, 100th race, I got a podium, summer break, I was like just in case I don't win this year I'm going to do a shoey and do my fellow Australians proud."

If you're not familiar with the "shoey," it is a drinking tradition that has become popular amongst young people at birthday parties, festivals and pretty much any kind of event that involves lots of drinking Down Under.

Take EDM star Dillon Francis, who also did a "shoey" on stage in Sydney, Australia last year. Soon enough, the world will be drinking alcohol out of their shoes. Mark our words.

CORRECTION: The original headline stated Daniel Ricciardo won the German Grand Prix, when in fact he had placed second.
