This practice likely originates from Danish Tarok or Skat in the middle of the 20th century.

Wizard staff is a drinking game in which players play individually in an attempt to consume more beer than their opponents. As a player drinks, their current can of beer is taped to the top of their previous cans before being opened. It is then opened and consumed from the top of the staff, making the task more difficult as more beers are consumed, not only because of increased inebriation, but also because it simply becomes more physically challenging as the staff becomes taller. Once a staff is taller than its owner, that person has reached wizard status. At the end of the night, whoever has the longest staff or in other words, has consumed the most beer, may be declared the "wisest wizard".
