After the toast has been proposed the rest of the party raises their glasses and greet each other with a nod before they drink. At more informal parties (like staff Christmas parties) everybody replies with a Skl before they drink. They might even yell it! Clinking glasses are also a part of the tradition. At more wild parties it also means: Buttoms up!!! Or as we say: Buttoms up and the rest in the hair. ---

The Danish At informal and wild parties singing will be involved. This is the most common: In English without the rhymes: We propose a toast to our friends, and to people we know. And to people we don t know, we propose a toast as well. Cheers - cheers

Ritual of Drinking SakeJapanese usually don't start drinking until someone offers the toast "kampai" (dry glass). .As the evening progresses, Japanese often shout "banzai!" three times. It means "live ten thousand years It is the equivalent of saying "hip. hip, hooray! .

Ritual of Drinking Sake When drinking, one should not drink from the bottle or fill his or her own glass. The polite thing to do is fill someone else's glass and they in turn will fill yours. In some situations, it is rude to turn down a drink that is being offered to you. To avoid drinking to much keep you glass full. To avoid being rude accept a drink the first time it is offered to you by a particular individual. The second time he offers it is acceptable to politely say no.
