What etiquette should you pay attention to when drinking, Zhihu?

1. Pour wine

Usually, drinks should be poured into glasses before drinking. Sometimes, in order to show respect and friendliness to the guests, the male host will personally pour wine for them.

when the waiter pours the wine, don't forget to thank you, but you don't have to pick up the glass. When the host comes to pour the wine in person, he must raise his glass to thank him, and when necessary, he needs to stand up or bow his head as a gift. Sometimes, you can also give them a "finger tapping ceremony" in return. That is, pinch the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand together, and tap the desktop a few times with the fingertips down. This method is suitable for Chinese banquets. It means thanking each other.

The wine poured by the host for the guests should be the best wine at this banquet and should be unsealed on the spot. When pouring wine, we should pay attention to three points:

1. We should cover all aspects, treat them equally, and be selective without oil, and only pour wine for individuals.

2. Pay attention to the order. You can start from where you are sitting clockwise, or you can pour wine for your elders and guests first.

3. Pour wine in moderation. Both liquor and beer can be filled, but other foreign wines are not so particular. If they are filled too much, it is obviously not appropriate and it is also a waste. Except the host and waiter, other guests should not pour wine for others by themselves.

2. Toast

Toast, also known as toasting. What it specifically refers to is that at a formal banquet, the host proposes to the guests to drink for some reason. When toasting, we usually say some wishes and blessings. At a formal banquet, the host and the guest of honor will also solemnly make a special toast. Therefore, toasting is often an essential procedure for a banquet.

a toast can be made at any time while drinking. Frequent toasts will make the atmosphere warm and cheerful. However, if a formal toast is made, it should be made at a specific time, and the primary consideration is not to affect the guests' dining.

Third, cheers

Cheers usually refer to persuading others to drink in some way or suggesting others to drink with themselves when drinking, especially when toasting or toasting. When you drink a toast, you often drink the wine in the toast, so you call it a toast. Sometimes, the toasts have to touch each other's glasses, so it is also called clinking glasses.

after the host or others propose a toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't touch alcohol, you should pick up the glass and pretend. When you drink a toast, you should raise your glass to the height of your eyes. After saying "Cheers", you should drink it all at once, or drink half of it, or an appropriate amount. Then, you need to hold a glass and look at the person who proposes a toast, and this process will end.

Moderate alcohol consumption

No matter what occasion you drink, you should be self-aware, behave yourself, and strive to keep your manners, so as to be a gentleman if you don't get drunk.

first, the drinking limit

at any time, don't be competitive. Pretending to be chic, drinking must be "drunk". Drinking too much is not only easy to hurt your health, but also easy to make a fool of yourself. Make trouble. In the old saying of our country, it has long been said that "wine hurts people" and "wine is a matchmaker", so don't forget to warn yourself when drinking.

this is necessary not only when you are happy, but also when you are in a bad mood. Never drink to burn your sorrows. As for intentional drinking, it is even more inappropriate to self-harm.

Before drinking, you should know your drinking capacity according to your past experience. No matter what happens, you must play beyond your level. In a formal banquet, in particular, we should take the initiative to limit drinking to less than half of our daily capacity, so as not to get drunk and spoil the broth.

second, refuse to drink according to etiquette

if you can't drink because of living habits or health, you can refuse others' advice in one of the following manners.

1. state the objective reasons for not drinking alcohol.

2. Take the initiative to replace wine with other soft drinks.

3. Entrust relatives and friends, subordinates or younger generations to drink alcohol on their behalf.

don't hide and hide when others are pouring wine for you, pushing the bottle around, knocking on the glass mouth, inverting the glass and secretly pouring it out. It is also wrong to pour your own wine into other people's cups, especially the wine you have drunk a little.

Third, change customs

When drinking alcohol, don't forget the rules of self-discipline and respect for others. In particular, we should abandon the following bad habits and customs that are harmful to people and ourselves.

1. Don't get drunk. Very few people, when drinking, often "the wine makes people drunk", taking the opportunity to make trouble, pretending to be crazy and talking nonsense. This practice is really boring.

2. Don't drink too much. Some people are addicted to alcohol. This is not only harmful to health, but also detrimental to personal image.

3. Don't drink alcohol. Toast, toast, need to be consensual, don't force vomiting-inducing toasts, say "deep feelings, a stuffy. Shallow feelings, a little. " You have to pour others down and watch their jokes.

4. Don't punch. When drinking, some people like to guess what to do, make a scene, and grandstanding. Its practice is also very disrespectful and should not be used in public places.
