6 Never drink alcohol without first offering a toast

不要还没敬酒就喝酒

One way to slow the drinking is to observe Chinese etiquette by always offering a toast to the host or someone else at the table before taking a sip yourself. This not only prevents you from drinking too much too quickly, but also shows your gratitude toward the host and your regard for the other guests. If someone toasts you with a "gân bçi," (gahn bay) however, watch out.

减少酒量的方法就是要观察中国的礼节，在自己喝酒之前先向主人或餐桌上的其他人敬酒。这样不但能避免自己过快不胜酒力，还能向主人和其他客人表达你的感谢以及关怀。然而，如果有人向你敬酒的话，那可就得注意了。
