I've never heard of such a tradition, and here's a good reason:
Has anyone ever checked if any machine is capable of making materials that
are safe to eat or drink out of? I don't think so. Especially something
alcoholic, which might tend to bring nasty components out of the materials?
I would be very careful about participating in such a tradition.

During the meeting(s) we had to plan how to get the machine set up and begin
printing objects on it, it was mentioned that...
A tradition exists within Hackerspaces that, after the Calibration Pyramid
is printed, the next object to build is a shot glass - Or, preferably one
glass per person in attendance - And a toast is drunk to the 3D printer
using glasses that it printed.
Can anyone confirm this tradition and say whether it is documented anywhere?
Thanks,
