Drinks and Toasts

Drinking always begins with a toast. Here are some interesting Toasts I have come across. CHEERS!

Here’s to a guy who is never blue
Here’s to a buddy who is ever true
Here’s to a pal, no matter what the load
Never declines one for the road.

Surrounded by good friends
And raising a glass.

May we never get less
A round to the worst
May they die of thirst.

And give to your friend this very day
Than a bushel of roses white and red
To lay on his coffin after he’s dead.

Raise a glass in my name
If you go before me

And damn your souls, I’ll drink it!

Dance like no-one is watching
Screw like it’s being filmed
And drink like a true Irishman.
