Damned odd, drinking from a skull. I always pour it into my skull.

Skull caps are more durable than a gourd dipper, so why not use them? The previous owner has no need for them. Seems to be the 'green thing to do'.

Been drunk out of my skull more than once.

‘Skol’ is a term used in lieu of ‘bottoms up’ in scandinavian countries, perhaps elsewhere. Meaning ‘skull’, which the Vikings drank their mead and wine from. Enemies’ skulls.

Well that what the Scandinavian toast “skaal” comes from the English word “skull”

It’s a known fact that drinking from skulls ruins the teeth.
