Did people ever pour drinks on the floor to reject a toast or indicate an end to civilities?

Accepted answer

I do not think that pouring drinks on the floor is rejecting a toast or ending civilities. I read in a article that: "pouring one out refers to β€œthe act of pouring liquid (usually an alcoholic beverage) on the ground as a sign of reverence for friends or relatives that have passed away." So this would indicate the meaning behind pouring drinks on the floor.
