Q and A

Q:  Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?

A:  It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink.  To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host.  Both men would drink it simultaneously.  When a guest trusted his host, he would then just touch or clink the host’s glass with his own.
