As people say ‘Cheers’ before they drink , in Germany they say ‘prost’ before taking a drink. But the rules of saying ‘Prost’ are very strict and it should be said accordingly in right manner. Generally in India it doesn’t matter, if we say cheers or not. But the concept behind ‘Prost’ is too terrifying.
Prost is, however, spoken throughout Germany, but in Bavaria state capital Munich, this word can be heard frequently especially during beer fest. The way to say Prost is that after preparing a drink, couple should pick it up in their hands, and thereafter looking into each other’s eyes say Prost.
If, by mistake, if any of them had turned their eyes around or something happened, then everything is finished, because for the next seven years that person’s sex life is ruined . Such is the belief behind speaking Prost.
