    I think i would need to have a lot of alcohol in my drink to put that toe in.. I'm just curious if they ever run out of toes...or if they re-use them..

    WHY DID YOU BITE IT WITH YOUR TEETH!!! OMG so gross! it just had to touch your lips! hahaha I've heard about this many times and would like to try it sometime but I will not be doing it like that. I read that a couple of the toes have been swallowed by accident because people did it like that haha

Established in 1973, the Sourtoe Cocktail has become a Dawson City tradition. The original rules were that the toe must be placed in a beer glass full of champagne, and that the toe must touch the drinker's lips during the consumtion of the alcohol before he or she can claim to be a true Sourtoer. The rules have changed in the past twenty-seven years. The Sourtoe can be had with any drink now (even ones that aren't alcoholic), but one rule remains the same. The drinker's lips must touch the toe. " You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow-- But the lips have gotta touch the toe." The Sourtoes are actual human toes that have been dehydrated and preserved in salt. Swallowing one is not suggested.
