The phrase can't very well be used out of context. In one context, it could refer to celebration by drinking a shot and turning down a glass. In another context it could mean the opposite, that is to turn down an offer of a drink.

Turn down a glass = stop for a moment to contemplate.

It comes from when in memory of a friend or drinking buddy who has passed away, it is customary to turn that buddy's glass upside down on the table when you go drinking, and pause for a moment to remember that friend.
