In addition to a healthy swig of water from the Shaw cup, he consumed an entire bottle of milk and then asked for a second. The water in the Shaw cup was still offered for a couple more years until finally being retired in favor of milk only.
And so it became tradition. There was a hiccup in when Emerson Fittipaldi, after his second Indy win, pushed away the proffered bottle of milk and chose to drink orange juice, explaining to the track commentator that he was promoting the Brazilian citrus drink industry, in which he was involved. Of course, messing with tradition does not go down well with motorsport fans, and Emmo was jeered by the crowd.

Fittipaldi realized his PR blunder and the money that the winner receives from the American Dairy Association was then donated to a charity.
