Shandong Province is a cultural province, known as the land of etiquette. Of course, in this entire cultural system, wine culture is also a very important branch, and in this wine culture, wine table culture Another most special scenery. Shandong people are generous and hospitable, especially when entertaining friends from out of town. They must let the guests drink well at the wine table. Of course, if you can get the guests drunk, that is the most honorable thing. For this reason, Shandong people naturally have various ways of entertaining guests at the wine table. Shandong people’s drinking routines and various operations make it miserable for outsiders: it’s hard to guard against them!

Routine 1, the unique seating arrangement at the wine table, with the host and assistant taking turns

Shandong people entertain guests and have strict seating arrangements at the wine table. The host has the host. The corresponding guests are also divided into host guest, deputy guest, etc. Although the toasting habits vary from place to place, in short, the goal is to let the guests drink as much as possible. For example, in the first cup, the leader takes the lead and takes 6 sips. In the second cup, the deputy leader takes the lead and takes 4 sips. If there are others taking the lead, it will take 2 sips. After drinking these, they will fight one by one! For another example, if the hostess toasts 3 or 4 times, plus the assistant 3 times, and drinks the glass of wine in six mouths, the host and assistant can start. He has the final say in the number of mouths, and the goal is one glass. Next, maybe three or four others will accompany them, and then they will be captured and killed. In short, the whole process can basically make a moderate drinker drunk.

Routine 2, use a small cup instead of a big cup, it will still make you drunk

Regarding the wine glasses used when drinking, there are deep tricks in it. In many cases, when hosts entertain guests, they do not use big cups that cost 2 and a half or 3 taels and 3, but small cups that cost about 3 cents each. The advantage of using a small cup is that the wine is easy to drink, and the guests know how much they drink each time. One sip is worth 3 yuan. But at the beginning, the guests can still remember how many glasses they drank, but don’t forget that after drinking to a certain extent, people’s brains will become dizzy. As they drink, they will no longer know how many glasses they drank, and they will remember again. If you don't get up, the host will be there to toast you again, so the final result is that you will most likely get drunk. So drinking from a small cup is the most powerful trick.

Routine 3, if you insist not to drink, the host’s whole family will come over to greet you

This trick is also very effective. If you are a guest at the host’s home, be careful. If you were determined not to drink before, the host will mobilize the whole family to persuade you to drink if he can't. For example, if you first ask your wife to come over and toast you, if you don’t drink, the host will say that you have seen your younger siblings busy cooking for a long time, so it’s not good if you don’t drink. Then your wife will come over and toast. After a while, ask your children to come and toast you. When you meet your uncle for the first time, quickly offer him a few glasses of wine, and then your children will come over and toast you. At this time, whether you want to drink or not, as long as you drink, you will definitely not be able to stop.

Routine 4, if you know that Shandong people drink too much and don’t dare to go to the appointment, they have other tricks

If you are a foreigner and have already experienced the Shandong people’s drinking style, Even if you say you won't go drinking, they still have a way to make you go. Usually they will call you first, "Let's go out to eat something." If you don't go, they will usually say, "Eat something light and don't drink." In fact, this is the first step to fall into the trap. What Shandong people call eating , often you have to drink first. When guests arrive, they often say, "It's boring to eat without drinking. Drink more." If you agree, pick up the glass and take the first sip, well, there will be thousands of reasons to be enthusiastic later. , you can't refuse until you drink it.

Routine 5, several others, all kinds of little tricks you can’t think of

Of course, in addition to the more formal routines above, there are naturally some little tricks. For example, if you stop drinking after drinking to a certain level, the host will say no, just drink some beer. This is an attitude of expressing great disappointment to you at the wine table. For the sake of face, you will not drink beer by yourself and let the host drink. Others drink liquor. Or if you agree on how many bottles to drink, but the last glass is not filled, the host will say that you can’t look bad and open another bottle and fill it up.

Also, after finishing the liquor, I suddenly have to order a few boxes of beer. It goes smoothly, but I have to drink well and drink enough. Many friends who come to Shandong as guests have this feeling. Unless they bite the bullet and don't drink a drop, as long as they drink, the possibility of not getting drunk is extremely small.

Of course, some people think that the above-mentioned routines for Shandong people to entertain guests and drink are bad habits at the wine table. It depends on the individual's interpretation.
