I’ve been invited to one of the distillery workers to a local restaurant to learn the special art of drinking Baijiu.

Thanks to Confucius that etiqutte is a vital part for Chinese life. So, there are centuries-old rituals that need to be observed.

You are the host, what’s your role?

As a host, we will toast three times. Gan bei.

Once the host is has toasted 3 times, it seems to be a fair game to anyone else to raise their glass.

作为英专来说，这种低级错误，以后就不要再犯啦~

Guests always comes first.

So, what if you are on the table of 20 people? Twenty people, then one by one.

Baijiu is generally brought out for formal occasions and celebrations. It is just as well because some of us are struggling to keep up.

So, when you are having business meetings, do you drink for a business meeting? Yes.

How do you get your any work done?

In modern China, Baijiu is an essential part of business etiquette. Once you are in a toasting round, it’s tricky to get out.

It sounds like a drinking game. It’s not actually the drinking game. It’s drinking tradition. If you want to play some drinking games, five ten now, this is the drinking game.

Last time I was in played a drinking game, I ended up naked.

I think I’d better leave the Baijiu to the experts.
