Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage worldwide. In fact, after water and tea, it’s the most commonly consumed drink in the world. So “Cheers!” to the world’s all-time favorite drink to party with! But whatever your drink of choice is, the ritual of toasting is one of the oldest forms of communication and a universal way to celebrate life’s big moments.
Toasting was first documented in ancient Greece and Rome as a way for people to wish for each other’s health and wellbeing. Centuries later, the habit of clinking glasses started accompanying the ritual everywhere around Europe. No one knows whether clinking glasses was meant to mix everyone’s drinks (thereby reducing the odds of being poisoned) or to add sound to the experience. Today, though, we still do it to pay homage to those who have made an impact on our lives — whether it be our parents, friends, or colleagues.
But aren’t you tired of saying that banal “Cheers”? Can’t we find some funnier cheers alternatives? Whether you need an excuse to clink glasses or just want to add some fun to your social gatherings, here are some great options for saying “cheers” that might just become your new go-to drinking toasts!

Pain makes you stronger.
Tears make you braver.
Heartbreak makes you wiser.
And vodka makes you not remember any of that cr*p.
We say for the last line "Here's to the shot to make you forget them all"
Here’s to being naughty and saving Santa a trip.
Here's to a long life and a happy one. A quick death and an easy one. A good girl and an honest one, a cold pint and another one.
Here’s to staying positive and testing negative!
Another day another bender. No retreat no surrender.
May we all have the chance to prove that money can’t make us happy.
Here’s to those who wish us well,
All the rest can go to hell.
The version I use is a bit saltier: Here's to those who wish us well, and those who don't can f**k themselves.
Here’s to the nights we’ll never remember
With our friends, we’ll never forget.
"To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists, and may each one of us always give the devil his due." - Neil Gaiman
Here's to the bride
And here's to the groom
And to the bride's father
Who'll pay for this room.
Here’s to it, and from it, and to it again, and if you don’t do it when you get to it, you may never get to it to do it again!
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet.
Used to be ".. for tomorrow we may die" Was said by soldiers on a feast before a big battle
Here’s to that long straight piece in Tetris.
"Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends." - Tom Waits
Here’s to the great artistic genius, Pablo Picasso. His last words were “Drink to me.” Who am I to question genius?
he could walk down your street, girls could not resist his stare... Pablo Picasso was never called an a****le.
Here's to the man who is wisest and best
Here's to the man who with judgment is blest,
Here's to the man who's as smart as can be –
I drink to the man who agrees with me!
Here is to the groom with a bride so fair, and here is to a bride with a groom who is so rare.
May we always be fired with enthusiasm for our work and never fired enthusiastically by our clients!

Sermons and soda-water the day after." - Lord Byron
I know it’s Christmas, but here’s to another day of being at the office, because once again, I’m doing all the work and some fat guy in a suit keeps getting all the credit.
We drink to your coffin. May it be built from the wood of a hundred-year-old oak tree that I shall plant tomorrow.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies, and quick to make friends!
The first draught a man drinks is for thirst,
The second is for nourishment,
The third is for pleasure
and the fourth for madness.
Here’s to the storks that bring good babies, the crows that bring bad babies, and the swallows that bring no babies at all!

May the winds of fortune sail you, may you sail a gentle sea, may it always be the other guy who says: “This drink’s on me.”
To every lovable girl in the land,
I offer this little libation.
For if ever they all left the country at once,
We’d be left in a state of stagnation.
"It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one’s present or future thirst, the excellence of the cognac, or any other reason." - W. C. Fields
"Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough." -
Mark Twain
If the ocean was beer and I was a duck, I would swim to the bottom and drink myself up. But the ocean’s not beer and I’m not a duck, so let’s drink these pints and get messed up.
A man’s wife has more power over him than the state has.
May your heart be light and happy. May your smile be big and wide. And may your pockets always have a coin or two inside.
Here’s to it,
And to it again.
When you get to it,
and can’t do it;
Come see me,
because I’m used to it!
He who goes to bed and goes to bed mellow,
Lives as he ought to,
And leaves an honest fellow.
Life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life.
So let’s get wasted all of the time and have the time of our life.
May the lilt of Irish laughter
lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic
shorten every road.
And may all your friends remember
all the favors you are owed.
Remembering good St. Patrick, who by strategy and stealth, drove all the snakes from Ireland. Here’s toasting to your health. But not too many toastings, lest you lose yourself, and then forget about good Patrick and see all those snakes again.
"Here’s to the big bull in the wood.
He does the cows and heifers good.
If it weren’t for his long, long rod,
Then what would we do for beef, by God?" - Mark Twain
To the two secrets to a long-lasting happy marriage: Here’s to a good sense of humor and a short memory!
Here's to those who've seen us at our best and seen us at our worst and can't tell the difference.
"Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life,” whatever it is and wherever it happens to be." - Hunter S. Thompson
Some ships are wooden ships, but those ships may sink.
The best ships are friendships, and to those ships, we drink.
“Happy birthday! Now that you’re old enough to be a father, I have only one thing to say to you: Live long enough to be a problem to your children.”
Here is to love that never grows old, and if it does, let’s hope by that time we’re too old to leave each other and start new marriages.
Life’s a waste of time and time’s a waste of life, so let’s get wasted all the time and have the time of our lives.
May your liquor be cold, may your women be hot. And may your troubles slide off of you slicker than snot.
If the ocean was beer and I was a duck, I would swim to the bottom and drink myself up. But the ocean’s not beer, and I’m not a duck, so let’s drink these pints and get messed up.
God in goodness sent us grapes to cheer, both great and small. Little fools drink too much, and great fools not at all!
God in goodness sent us grapes to cheer both great and small.
Little fools drink too much, and great fools not at all!
A toast to all the champagne we'll drink tonight, and all the coffee we'll drink tomorrow.
Happy birthday to you for years to come. We’ll explore them together for a life filled with love, joy, and fun. Happy birthday, darling!
Here’s to Dame Fortune; may she smile upon you.
May you never meet her daughter, Miss Fortune.
Here’s to the glass we love so to sip,
It dries many a pensive tear;
’Tis not so sweet as a woman’s lip
But a damned sight more sincere.
I drank to your health in the company, I drank to your health alone,
I drank to your health so many times, I nearly ruined my own.
Here’s to a long life and a merry one,
A quick ending and a happy one,
A good girl and a pretty one,
A cold bottle and another one.
Here’s to the girls who do
And here’s to the girls who don’t
And here’s to the girls who say they never will,
But when the time comes, won’t.
But here’s to the girls most of all,
Who says they never will:
“I can’t. I won’t, I shan’t, I don’t!
…but just for you, I will.”
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
"Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching." - Satchel Paige
The past is history, the future is a mystery, but today is a gift because it’s the present.
To those who have seen us at our best and at our worst, and still can’t tell the difference.
Here’s to a night on the town, new faces all around, taking the time to finally unwind, tonight it’s about to go down!
Drink to fair woman, who, I think,
Is most entitled to it;
For if anything drives men to drink,
She certainly can do it.
