If you’re anything like us, you like traveling all over the map, starting conversations with the locals, which inevitably leads to a quick drink or seven. Learning a new language is hard, but you already know how to drink, and learning one word can really kick things off with a relative stranger and turn them into your new best friend.
In which case, here’s over a hundred ways to toast your new found friendship over a drink or say ‘cheers‘ in most countries you’d be going to. We’re going to be constantly updating this to try to cover as many countries and regions as possible, we’re aiming for all 196 countries and many more regions and languages to have you covered wherever you’re going!
