After ‘milking’ and ‘porting’, now St Andrews students are ‘champagning’
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.First Newcastle University students invented "milking" (1. open milk carton, 2. empty on head). Next came the more upmarket "porting" at Durham - and now there's decadent news from St Andrews, where undergraduates (in red trousers, natch), have filmed themselves "champagning".
In what may or may not qualify as "banter", and surely won't do St. Andrews sloaney reputation any favours, the video shows a number of students pouring Moet (and Cava) over their heads around the St. Andrew's campus.
The Youtube reaction is sceptical at best, with the top comment coming from uberjoely: "It's awful that the top 1% of the world's population control 99% of the world's red trousers." Has the 'drink on head' trend reached its nadir?
UPDATE: The video's now been taken down
