I don't and none of my family members do that. I can't even remember anyone i know ever doing that.

It's our Culture.

Sometimes I pour it on the ground during public gatherings if I suspect poison, so I do it so that my Gods/Forefathers would protect me.

Other times when I am alone, I do it to show respect to my forefathers and thank them for the opportunity of life, I greet them for my blessings so far and availability of drink to taste.

I am an Igbo man and I don't believe the white man's Culture, I only believe in God which my forefathers believe in.
