Question: How did toasting originate?
The 1995 International Handbook on Alcohol and Culture says: "Toasting... is probably a secular vestige of ancient sacrificial libation in which a sacred liquid was offered to the gods...in exchange for a wish, a prayer summarized in the words 'long life! or 'to your health!"

Toasting drinks comes from when knights drank wine and had parties all the time. Soon, though, in a quest for power, other knights poisonex their comrades. The knights started pouring a little of their own glass into each other in a motion similar to 'toasting' so if one died, they all did. This adapted into a friendly toasting at dinner, usually with wine or beer.
