You must know the hidden rules of drinking. Most people drink, the more they drink, the happier they are, and everyone is happy. Some people just broke up after drinking, and the farce continued. Different people drink in different ways. Let's take a look at the hidden rules of drinking that we must know.

You must know the hidden rules of drinking 1 First of all, you should pay attention to the timing and discretion in toasting.

There is no denying that drinking can really add atmosphere to the dinner and connect each other's feelings. We all have this experience. Everyone was very polite at the dinner table. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was laughing and full of interest. Everyone should be happy when drinking, but also pay attention to the timing and discretion.

Second, pay due attention to the drinkers at the same table.

1. Don't say "I won't drink" after drinking it. Beware of people calling you hypocritical. Whether a person can drink or not can be seen by himself.

When there is not enough wine, put the wine bottle in the middle of the table and let others add it themselves. Don't pour the wine one by one foolishly. What if the people behind don't have wine?

Peanut is a good thing for drinkers. It is essential to keep a clear head and ask questions after drinking. A cup of yogurt, a cup of hot water and a hot towel all show your concern.

Third, the toast is orderly and clear.

1, toast and other leaders to drink each other before starting.

Unless you are a leader, you can rely on one person to respect many people, otherwise many people will respect one person.

Generally speaking, toasts should be made in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Give full consideration to the order of toasting before toasting. If there is no special person present, it is best to propose a toast clockwise.

Fourth, be careful not to leave the cup empty.

1. Respect others by yourself. If you clink glasses, say I'm finished, and you can be generous at will. If you don't touch glasses, don't drink less than the other person. You should know that you are respecting others.

2. Before drinking, hold the cup in your right hand and pad the bottom of the cup in your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others. However, if you are a leader, don't put yourself too low, otherwise you won't be the next person.

Don't leave your cup empty. When people see that there is no wine in your glass, they will come and pour it for you. And there will always be a glass of stuffy wine after the banquet, which may be caught off guard.

5. If you can't drink it, play some tricks.

1. What if I have to drink if I can't? Besides making some preparations before drinking, you should also learn some abstinence skills.

2. Take defense as the attack, don't take the initiative to attack, eat some fat meat and starchy food at the bottom behind the seat, so that it is not easy to get drunk when drinking.

3, master the rhythm, take your time when drinking, don't drink too hard at once. There may be a lot of alcohol in dinner, so don't let go of red wine, beer and white wine, because it is especially easy to get drunk when mixed together.

4, steal the bait and switch, put two big cups in front of the table, one with white wine and the other with mineral water, toast with a small handleless wine cup and drink water frequently. When appropriate, water can be used instead of wine.

5. After toasting, don't swallow it immediately, find an opportunity to wipe your mouth with a napkin and spit the wine into the napkin.

6. Put half a cup of tea in front of you before drinking. Don't swallow it after drinking it. Pick up the teacup quickly. When drinking water, spit the wine into the teacup. Just spit it out and change the water

Sixth, pay attention to table manners and everyone is happy.

Drinking is to enliven the atmosphere. At the dinner table, in addition to proper toast, we should also pay attention to some etiquette:

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

At the party, because of different personal interests and knowledge, try not to be too partial. We should talk as much as possible about some topics that most people can participate in and get the approval of most people. Avoid being self-centered, far apart, and talking endlessly, leading to digression and ignoring others. In particular, try not to whisper to others, giving people a sense of mystery.

2, aim at both sides, grasp the overall situation

Most dinners have a theme. 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 the opportunity to make friends, let alone let some grandstanding drinkers disturb the host's meaning.

3. Appropriate language and humor

The wine table can show a person's talent, common sense, self-cultivation and social 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.

Don't treat the wine field as a battlefield, always trying to persuade others to drink more, thinking that drinking enough is unrealistic, and sometimes too much persuasion will completely destroy the feelings of the original friends.

Must know the unspoken rules of drinking 2 how to toast?

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.

Under normal circumstances, toasts should be made in the order of age, filial piety, 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.

In western food, champagne is the only toast, and you can't drink it with others over the people around you.

How to toast a business meal?

From the operational process, we should pay attention to four aspects in toasting:

1, how to pour the wine

You need to pour the wine before toasting. According to the regulations, except the host and the service staff, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves. If the host pours the wine himself, he should pour it with the best wine at this party. Guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary.

If it is a large business meal, it should be served by the service staff. Generally, you should pour the wine from the person with the highest position and then pour it clockwise. If you don't need wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say "no, thank you". At this time, there is no need for the sommelier to ask for wine again and again.

In Chinese food, when others pour wine, they can also give a "finger tapping ceremony" in return. Especially when you are above your master. That is, the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are close together, and the fingertips are facing down. Tap the table a few times to thank you for pouring the wine.

How much wine should I pour? Liquor and beer can be drunk, and other foreign wines don't have to be drunk.

When do you propose a toast?

When toasting at a specific time, the first consideration is not to affect the guests' dining.

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. Formal toasts are usually made after the guests and hosts are seated and before meals. Generally, the host will propose a toast and say a standard drinking word at the same time. Ordinary toasting can begin as long as it is after the formal toast. But be careful when the other person is convenient. For example, he didn't propose a toast with other people or chew, thinking that the other person might be willing to accept your toast. Moreover, when toasting the same person, you should wait for someone taller than yourself to toast before toasting.

3, the order of the toast

What's the order of toasting? In general, the order should be based on age, filial piety, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting, prioritize and avoid embarrassing situations. Even if you are confused or unclear about your position and status, you should toast in a unified order, such as toasting clockwise from your side first, or toasting from left to right and from right to left.

4, toast behavior requirements

Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. Formal toast means that at the beginning of the banquet, the host first toasts everyone collectively and at the same time makes a standard toast. This toast can be a little longer, but it will be finished in five minutes.

No matter the host or the guest, when toasting the group in their seats, they are required to stand up first, smile, hold a glass in hand and face everyone.

When the host toasts everyone, everyone should stop eating and drinking. When the host proposes a toast, everyone will raise their glasses and stand up and touch each other's glasses. According to international practice, you don't have to propose a toast. But even people who don't drink at ordinary times should sip their glasses and pretend to show respect to their hosts.

In addition to the host toasting the group, guests can also toast the group. The guest's toast can be shorter, even a sentence or two. For example: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink to our happy cooperation in the future!" "

Usually, the content of etiquette norms is more about ordinary toasting. Ordinary toast means that after the host makes a formal toast, each guest and the host or guest can toast each other and say one or two simple toasts at the same time.

When someone makes a toast to you, raise your glass to eye level, and then drink it after the other person makes a toast or "cheers". After drinking, you have to look at each other with a glass, and the process is over.

For our country, we should pay special attention when toasting. When making a toast, both the respectful party and the accepting party should pay attention to local conditions and do as the Romans do. In most areas of our country, especially in the northeast, Inner Mongolia and other northern areas, people often pay attention to "one-sidedness" when toasting. In their view, this way can express sincerity and respect. Therefore, in the specific response, we should pay attention to the fact that our drinking capacity is poor, and we should explain it sincerely in advance. Don't appear very graceful and hold a glass of wine to respect each other, and the other party is just "mean" in doing so, which will often cause the other party's unhappiness. In addition, for toasting, if the other party really doesn't drink enough, there is no need to force it. The highest level of drinking should be "drinking well", not "drinking down".

In Chinese food, there is another stress. That is, after the host personally toasts you, you should pay back the host and have another toast with him. In return, you should hold the cup in your right hand and the bottom of the cup in your left hand, and drink with each other at the same time. When toasting, you can touch the glass symbolically. Don't push too hard, you are sure to hear the sound. Out of respect, you can make your cup lower than the other's. If the distance is far, you can touch the table with the bottom of the cup, which means touching the cup.

Different from Chinese food, champagne is generally used to toast and toast in western food. And it's just a toast, not a toast, only a toast without really clinking glasses. Don't cross the people around you and propose a toast to people far away, especially a cross toast.
