In almost every language there are toasts, which one uses when enjoying alcoholic drinks or when Zuprosten. Most often one wishes oneself thereby health and general well-being. The so-called To drink is an ancient custom since there are people and alcohol. In not a few toasts the consumption of excess alcohol is described as unproblematic and positive.

We wish all women that they are surrounded only by beautiful and exotic animals. That they have a Jaguar in the garage, a tiger in bed, a sable around their shoulders, and especially a donkey who can pay for it all (Russian source).
Man drinks, the horse drinks, but sometimes it is the other way around.
Drink, smoke, kisses, cheer, drive and overtake,
Everything brings - whether early or later, you to Peter in the ether.
With a stiff arm to the stiff middle, according to old custom and fathers custom.
May your way be light, may the wind always come from behind you, may the sun shine warm in your face, may a gentle rain fall on the fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in his hand. Bottom up!
