Chinese people likes alcohol and it becomes a Chinese culture.
In China, when the business man they around table and talk about the project. They want to use their drinking action to be trust. During that time, drinker would say,” all words are in the alcohol. I’ll finished it, whatever you.”
If someone can drink a bottle of baijiu, people would say, it’s a good thing, it can support you to business negotiation. People wouldn’t care about your body’s health.
My husband told me, it’s necessary to do that. Some team leaders they want to people drunk them. Because they are group up in this way. It’s a cycle. And during eating time, you can express your idea whatever that point leaders support or not, it’s just an opportunity.
I didn’t like alcohol, but I like toast. I like people around dining room table and enjoy food
