It is very stressful to be proposed a toast without preparation. The best solution at this time is to say how you feel. Toast never takes long. If you are asked to make a toast unprepared, you can say something simple to get out of trouble, such as "I say hello to Ken, and God bless you." Or "Say hello to our good friend and boss Greta"

But if you want to be more elegant and eloquent, you will want to add some memories, praises and related stories or jokes. However, a toast should be appropriate to the occasion. A sense of humor rarely seems out of place, but the toast at the wedding should focus on emotion, the toast to retired employees should focus on nostalgia, and so on.

At dinner parties, toasting is usually the priority of the host or hostess. If there is no toast, the guest can toast the host. If one of the hosts makes a toast first, the guest can make a toast in the second place.

There is usually a hostess when a ceremony is held. If there is no hostess, the chairman of the organizing Committee will make the necessary toast after the meal and before the speech. On less formal occasions, you can propose a toast after wine and champagne are served. The toaster doesn't have to drink the wine in the cup. One sip at a time is enough.

You can't touch any alcoholic drinks, including wine, even when toasting. When handing wine, of course you can refuse, and raise the goblet with soda water when toasting. In the past, there was no toast unless it was an alcoholic drink, but today all kinds of drinks can be used to toast. In any case, you should stand up and join this activity, at least you should not sit in your seat with great disrespect.

Keep a low profile, curl your hair, and never fill it up as soon as you get on the wine table.

For example, leader A can't drink enough. Beating around the bush can stop people who want to worship leader A.

Tip 8: Pick up the glass (beer glass), grab the glass with your right hand and put it on the bottom with your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others'. If you are a leader, you should be sensible and don't put it too low, otherwise how can you be a person below.

Nine tips for not drinking.

1, do not take the initiative to attack, and implement the strategy of defending as the attack;

2. Put two big cups in front of the table, one with white wine and the other with mineral water, drink small glasses and drink water frequently. When the host and guest on the wine table are basically drunk for 8 minutes, they can take the initiative to attack and replace the wine with water; (This article is not recommended)

9. Fill it up every time you make a toast, then pretend that you didn't take the small glass well before drinking, and try to sprinkle some, so that you can drink a lot less every time.

1, enjoy the whole people, don't whisper.

Most banquets have more guests, so try to talk about topics that most people can participate in and get the approval of most people. Because of different personal hobbies and knowledge, the topic should not be too biased as far as possible, so as not to be dominated by one family, far apart, and talk endlessly, leading to digression and ignoring everyone.

In particular, try not to whisper to others and give others a sense of mystery, which will often produce a good jealousy for you two and affect the effect of drinking.

2, aim at both sides, grasp the overall situation

Most banquets have a theme, that is, the purpose of drinking. When you go to eat, you should first look at the expressions around you and prioritize. Don't drink for the sake of drinking, and lose a good opportunity to make friends, let alone let some grandstanding drinkers disturb the host's meaning.

3. Appropriate language and humor

Sprinkling it on the table can show a person's talent, common sense, self-cultivation and communication etiquette. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on the guests and make people feel good about you invisibly. Therefore, it is very important to know when to say something, to use appropriate language, and to be humorous.

4, moderate persuasion, don't force.

On the wine table, we often encounter the phenomenon of persuading wine. Some people always like to regard the wine field as a battlefield and try their best to persuade others to drink more, thinking that it is unrealistic to drink enough.

A hero can drink wine, a man who drinks too much can, but a man who drinks too little is hard. Sometimes, excessive persuasion will completely destroy the feelings of the original friends.

5. Toast in an orderly way, with clear priorities.

Baking bread is also a science. Generally speaking, a toast should be made in the order of age, position and the status of the guest and the host. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting and distinguish between primary and secondary. In order to drink with people you don't know, you should first find out your identity, or pay attention to what others call you, so as not to be embarrassed or hurt your feelings.

When toasting, you must grasp the order of toasting. If you want to have a guest at the dinner table, you should be respectful to him, but you should pay attention to the fact that if someone with higher status or older people is present, you should not only be respectful to those who can help you, but also propose a toast to the respected elders first, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.

6. Read words and understand people's hearts.

If you want to get everyone's appreciation on the wine table, you must learn to read and read. Because when dealing with people, we must understand people's hearts, so that we can play a good role on the wine table.

7, the edge is gradually exposed, sit firmly on Mount Tai.

At the banquet, you should see the occasion clearly, correctly evaluate your own strength, don't be too impulsive, try to keep some alcohol and talk, don't let others underestimate yourself and don't show yourself too much, choose the right time, and gradually radiate your own edge, so that you can sit firmly on Mount Tai, don't give others the idea of this ability, and let everyone dare not underestimate your strength.

Toast is also a toast, which means that at a formal banquet, the host proposes to the guests and puts forward certain reasons for drinking. When drinking, we usually say some wishes and blessings, and even the host and guests have to make a special toast. The shorter the toast, the better.

You can toast at any time when you drink. If it is a formal toast, it should be at a specific time, which will not affect the guests' meal. Toast is suitable to start after guests and hosts are seated and before meals. It can also be after the main course and before the dessert is served.

When drinking, especially when toasting, someone needs to take the lead in toasting, which can be the host, the guest of honor or the people present. When toasting, you should stand up, hold the cup in your right hand, or hold the bottom of the cup in your left hand, smile, look at other toasts, especially yourself, and say a blessing at the same time.

It is suggested that after the toast, you should stand up with a glass in your hand. Even if you don't drink, you should pick up the cup for show. Raise the glass to eye level, say "cheers" and drink it off or in moderation. Then, you have to look at the proposer with a glass, and the process is over.

In Chinese food, before toasting, you can symbolically touch each other's glasses; When clinking glasses, you should make your glass lower than the other's to show your respect for the other. Touching the table with the bottom of the glass can also mean touching the glass with the other side. You can do this when you are far away from each other. If the host toasts himself, ask for a toast to the host and toast with him again.

In general, toasting should be carried out in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Be sure to give full consideration to the order of toasting and prioritize. Even if you are drinking with people you don't know, you should first inquire about your identity or pay attention to other people's names to avoid embarrassment or hurting feelings. Even if you want something from the guest at the dinner table, you should show him more respect. However, if there are people with higher status or elders present, we should also propose a toast to the elders first, otherwise it will make everyone very embarrassed.

If it is not suitable for drinking because of living habits or health reasons, you can also entrust relatives, friends, subordinates and younger generations to drink or use drinks and tea instead. As a toaster, you should fully understand each other. When the other party asks others to change the wine or drink, don't insist on letting the other party drink, and don't "get to the bottom of it" curiously. You know, if someone doesn't take the initiative to explain the reason, it means that the other party thinks this is his privacy.
