How to politely refuse a toast?

If you can't drink, how can you refuse to propose a toast? If you learn these three tricks, you won't offend people or hurt your liver.

When we join a wine club, we sometimes want to get together with friends or colleagues, chat with each other, and talk about some interesting things that have happened around us recently, or this person is a better person and embarrassed to refuse his invitation.

On such occasions, many people need to drink. Some people are good drinkers and naturally want to participate in such a drinking atmosphere. But for people who are not very good at drinking, it can undoubtedly be regarded as a kind of "suffering" for them. After all, everyone wants to drink, and it will be a bit inappropriate to stay there alone. And if some people who don't know you come to you to propose a toast, they can't cope with such a scene.

In this regard, today we will talk about how to refuse if someone gives you a toast and can't drink. Learn these three tricks without offending others or hurting the liver.

1, under the pretext of being unwell.

The first step is to refuse his toast on the grounds that he is not feeling well. After all, if you honestly say that you can't drink well, others may not believe you and think that you just don't want to drink, so you make up such an excuse, so in this case, you can only find a more suitable reason.

You can make excuses for your physical condition, that is, you had a fever or caught a cold some time ago. When the doctor prescribed medicine for you, he repeatedly told you to try to eat something light and avoid alcohol during this time. So for the sake of my health, I must give up drinking.

When you explain this truth to that person, as long as you understand, you won't be allowed to drink after listening to this sentence. Maybe I will care about you later and let you pay more attention to your health. If you don't feel well, you can go back to rest early.

2. Divert your attention

The second trick is to divert attention. When someone wants to propose a toast to you in a restaurant, after all, it is a friendly gesture, and you should respond, but you can divert your attention a little when you respond. For example, when you let him face your direction, you can first express a puzzled look and ask him, "Are you going to propose a toast to the people around me?"

Having said this, there is actually a euphemistic refusal in it, indicating that I don't want to drink it. If you want to propose a toast, it's better to propose a toast to others. If this person understands your hidden meaning, he will naturally propose a toast to others. If he really doesn't understand, just tell him frankly that he is not good at drinking and tell him not to propose a toast to himself.

3. In the face of a relative stranger, you can explain the situation.

Of course, if you are facing a relative stranger toasting you, the first rule is that you have nothing in common with him, so you don't need to care too much about the other person's face. Secondly, because he doesn't know you, he doesn't know that you can't drink.

Then, if this kind of person comes to propose a toast to you, you can make it clear to him that you don't drink and haven't touched this thing before, or you can pass the tea in front of you with tea instead of wine, which is also a polite response. People know you can't drink, so they won't say much.

Conclusion: Of course, it is polite for others to propose a toast to you. If others don't know your details, you'd better make yourself clear in advance. If you express it too euphemistically, others will not know, and it will be tiring for you to explain yourself.
