Descripción
Drinking glasses designed to be as difficult as possible to drink from without spilling the alcoholic beverage within, often including a tube that served as a straw. The goal was to amuse the onlookers at the expense of the imbiber: in drinking competitions, the drinker had to guess how to drink from the vessel; if any liquor was spilled, he was required to start again with a full glass.
