I learned that the tapping of the shot glass originated as an Irish tradition. All liquors are considered spirits and those spirits are believed to have adverse effects on a persons personality while drinking, so, the tap was a superstitious way of relieveing the alcohol of those spirits for a more successful night of drinking.

Why does a glass leave a ring on the table?

When a glass is placed on a table, the weight of the glass creates pressure on the point of contact. This pressure can cause tiny scratches on the table surface, which are then filled with moisture from the condensation on the glass.
