Africa....but I have never heard of such a ritual since. He was a bit of a nutter though. In Canada (where I live) you would be thrown out of a pub for doing that...a little more liberal in some London pubs I guess.

The boot should always be passed around the table without being set down until it's finished; the last drinker before the drinker who finishes the boot gets publically shamed and then buys the next round. The laws of physics can be defied by drinking with the toe pointed out to the side. And for the love of God, make sure "boot" remains a noun rather than a verb.
