Raising a glass

When you sit around the table for a meal do you clink glasses & make a toast

Re: Raising a glass

I don't really drink,Apricot.

Even on the odd occasion when I do...we don't clink glasses or make a toast

Re: Raising a glass

No, I am teetotal so seldom have a glass in my hand and never alcohol anyway.
Maybe a glass of water or a diet beverage but that's not quite the same.

Re: Raising a glass

I mean"t people who do drink a little.
Thank you for replying anyway .

Re: Raising a glass

If the occasion requires a toast - birthday/anniversary or something - then yes, I would certainly raise a glass and clink it - makes it more of a celebration!

Re: Raising a glass

clink glasses yes, or normally just raise our glasses ... but toast, no, just a nod & a wink maybe.

Re: Raising a glass

if I'm having a celebratory meal like birthday or anniversary, then yes.
Cheers Apricot *clink*

Re: Raising a glass

Yes to always clinking glasses. Sometimes to making a toast, depends on the occasion although it's not always a special occasion. Sometimes to thank someone. Meals and drinks are as special as you make them. IMO it's nice to make every group meal special.

Re: Raising a glass

Yes we always clink glasses and say cheers.....actually my little grandson Stanley does it to excess and raises his fruit shoot saying cheers to the whole restaurant if you give him chance

Re: Raising a glass

We are spending three weeks in Portugal over Noel. There'll be lots of raised glasses no doubt, "saude" is Portuguese for "cheers" and translates quite literally to "health".
