How to politely refuse a toast at a banquet

At the end of the year, friends in the workplace will inevitably have a banquet. Here are the toast skills I brought to you on how to politely refuse at the banquet. Welcome to read for reference!

1) Learn to find the most prestigious person on the wine table;

Such people are usually invited, mostly middle-aged, with successful careers, or to put it bluntly, they are generally flattering.

The target of your boss or host is him. As for the other guests, they are just foil.

Your boss may let you go, but if you can achieve unexpected results, you will definitely be reused in the future.

You can only qualify if you drink with the guests, but if you drink with the target guests, that's what the boss wants.

So, find such a person first.

2) Take the initiative to drink:

My father said that on the wine table, two kinds of people are most afraid, one is people who can't drink, but such people are generally rare; On the other hand, there are very few people who can't drink and drink all the time. After all, "fools" are rare.

When you are at the wine table, people come to persuade you to drink, usually because your sense of existence is too weak, or your performance is unqualified.

Since everyone wants to drink, passive drinking is better than active drinking.

After the boss makes a toast, he drinks directly with the target.

First, if you take the initiative, the other party must drink; Second, you have the initiative. You can say something first. For example, the XX leader has been in poor health for the last two days, but you are here. I must drink this wine, but I can't drink too much, so I propose a toast to you first. This not only gives the leader enough face, but also tells others that I won't drink much after this cup of wine today.

Usually after this, even if the task is completed, there will be a few drinks afterwards.

3) Learn to chat:

Many times, the boss brings people with him, one is to accompany the wine, and the other is to hope to have a topic to talk about. For example, when some people go out for a drink, they always take their drivers with them. This man is very talkative and talks about everything. People from different parts of the world, astronomy and geography, real-time current affairs, gossip news and short parents can all make the wine table lively.

So at the wine table, you should learn to chat, but you can't talk to these old men about cosmetics, clothes and entertainment circles, so talk about your children! This is definitely a killer. Talk about education, schools and grades. Most of them have children at this age. The younger said milk powder, the older said going to school, and the older said which high school or even university to take the exam. If they are about the same age, then talk about the future.

The general leader is willing to talk like this, and secondly, he is chatting with you, and the people next to him can't help but persuade him to drink.

Therefore, when you are on the wine table, your seat is also very particular, so it is best to be close to the leader. Adjacent to or apart from people.

4) learn to fight:

In general, the above strategies can basically help you deal with most wine scenes.

But there are always a few who like to persuade wine and flirt with little girls.

Method:

If this person's reputation is abroad, you can communicate with the leader before drinking. For example, the last time I touched my hand, for example, I always liked stealing money or something. If it's not so important, the leader won't be reluctant (if the leader keeps taking you to such a dinner table, you can consider changing a leader or changing a job for a leader who doesn't protect his subordinates, and of course you should also leave a place for yourself).

But if you really want to go. Then we should be prepared for war.

Drinking is the most taboo to mix wine, especially the mixture of beer and red wine, or the mixture of medicinal liquor and red wine, which tastes bad and is easy to get drunk.

On the wine table, besides a cup of green tea and a cup of yogurt, eat more vegetables. Then when drinking, estimate how much the other person has drunk, and then seize the opportunity to drink with the other person who has just finished drinking.

Mix more wine depending on whether the other person doesn't like it. Moreover, when you are slightly drunk, you'd better say something drunk intentionally or unintentionally, such as XX. You always drink little girls. What's the use? Or, XX, you see, I'm not married, and I'm always bothered by you. People who want to marry me in the future, like me, don't want me.

This confrontation several times, the other side will be well-advised, even if you are not well-advised, your leader also knows.

5) Learn to protect yourself:

Whether you are drunk or not, before you leave, you should say hello to your relatives and friends and tell them the address and box number of the hotel.

Whether it's an impromptu dinner or an appointment. You must do this to protect yourself.

6) learn to drink:

This is another story, but it is definitely a way.

After my sister works, my father always lets my sister drink a little red wine or red bayberry soju when eating at home every day.

Moderate drinking is beneficial, because work needs it, so it is necessary to practice drinking.

Don't drink too much at a time, take one sip of white wine and two sips of red wine1~. Don't spell wine, take your time, take a sip of wine, eat a bite of food, talk more and go to the toilet more. If the wine table is big, you can walk more. If you drink red wine, you can eat more beef, drink more white wine and nuts, drink less soup and so on, and eat less cold dishes after drinking, which is bad for your stomach. If you wear makeup, you can go to the toilet between drinks and put on more blush. Show blushes.

7) Don't be a hero:

On the wine table, don't try to be brave and show off and be provoked by others, let alone say "you can't do it" or "so-and-so can't do it, and the capacity for drinking is too poor". I have seen too many young people on the wine table. Because they are young and in good health, they drank a few words and then they didn't care much.

Here are some office humor tips I brought you:

Don't joke with a straight face.

The highest level of humor is often that the humor master does not laugh himself, but he can make you laugh my head off. However, we are not masters of humor in life, and it is difficult to do this. Then don't joke with others with a straight face, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

Don't tease your boss.

You must remember this sentence: the boss is always the boss, don't expect to be friends with him at work. Even if you were classmates or good friends, don't joke with your boss on the basis of past friendship, especially when others are present.

Don't make too many jokes with colleagues of the opposite sex.

Sometimes, a joke in the office can adjust the tense working atmosphere, and a joke between the opposite sex can also narrow the distance between people. But remember not to make too many jokes between the opposite sex, especially don't say dirty jokes in front of the opposite sex, which will degrade your personality and make the opposite sex think that you are mentally unhealthy.

Don't always joke with your colleagues.

When joking, you should master the scale, don't be careless and always joke. Staying like this for a long time is not solemn enough in front of colleagues, and colleagues will not respect you; In front of the leader, you will appear immature and unpractical, and the leader can no longer trust you and entrust you with a heavy responsibility. This is really not worth the loss.

Don't think that playing tricks on people is also a joke.

Playing tricks on others is disrespectful to others and will make people think you are malicious. And it's hard to explain afterwards. It is by no means a joke, and you can't talk nonsense at will. Light will hurt the feelings between you and your colleagues, and heavy will endanger your work. Remember the saying "shut your mouth", don't let disaster come out of your mouth, or you will regret it!

Don't joke about colleagues' shortcomings or shortcomings.

Gold is not enough, no one is perfect. Don't joke about colleagues' shortcomings or shortcomings. You think you know each other very well and make jokes about each other's shortcomings at will, but these jokes can easily make them think you are being sarcastic. If the other person is a sensitive person, you will offend him with an unintentional remark, which will ruin the friendship between two people or make the relationship between colleagues tense. And you have to remember that once this joke is said, it can't be taken back, and it can't be explained solemnly. By that time, it will be too late to regret.
