Toast

• Never drink a toast or stand, when it's being
  offered to you.
• However, you should always stand up and respond
  to the toast, even if this means just thanking
  the host for the gesture.

3

• Never should a toast be offered to the guest of
  honor until the host has had the opportunity to
  do so.
• If it appears that the host has no intention of
  offering a toast, it would be polite to quietly
  request the host's indulgence to do so yourself.

4

• You should always stand when offering a toast
  unless it is a small informal group.
• Standing can help you to get the attention of the
  group and quiet them down.
• It is best not to signal for quiet by rapping on
  a glass. You could break or chip a glass.

5

• It is not a good idea to push someone to make a
  toast who would otherwise prefer not to.
• You might hear a toast that you would just as
  soon not hear.

6

• Never refuse to participate in a toast.
• It is more polite and perfectly acceptable, to
  participate with a non-alcoholic beverage or even
  an empty glass than not at all.
