        Today’s e-mail question is, “How do I propose a toast?”
    
    Gary:    Well, a toast is a traditional way to honor someone or to wish someone a good future.
    
        Different cultures have different ways to make toasts.
    
        In the United States, you usually make a toast with some kind of alcohol, like beer, whisky, or wine.
    
        You raise your glass and then propose your toast.
    
        And then everybody drinks.
    
    Eliz:    And if you don’t drink alcohol, it’s also OK to use other kinds of drinks, even water, isn’t it?

    Eliz:    Gary, could you give us an example of a toast?
    
    Gary:    Sure. For example, if your co-worker has been promoted, you could raise your glass and say, “Congratulations on your promotion!”
    
    Eliz:    OK.

        People drink a toast to the health and happiness of the new bride and groom.
    
    Eliz:    And at meals, it’s common for someone to offer a short toast before anyone drinks anything.
    
    Gary:    That’s right. They say “To your health.”
    
    Eliz:    Or... “Cheers.”  “Cheers” is a very common toast.
    
    Gary:    So now, I’ll raise my water glass and I’ll toast to the continued success of our Functioning in Business team.
    
        Cheers!
