I have noticed that most times people pour alcoholic drinks especially spirit drinks on the floor before drinking. I want to ask if it's compulsory to do so and what is the rationale behind it before drinking. I noticed that this is even common with Yorubas |

It's a traditional practice called libation in which an unknown god/idol is being appeased with the drink. More like.. first offering a drink to the gods. I'll advice you not to join in the practice because you don't know what they are serving/ pouring libations to or what you'll be inviting into your life with such practice. 1 Like |

The idea is to reduce the amount of alcohol that will go into your system. You can also pour offering to your creator, nothing spoil. |
