Read and answer the questions: Doing business in China means you have many chances to meet your clients around the dinner table. Chinese businessmen always express their hospitality by inviting you to drink alcohol. It's impolite to refuse to drink when a host suggesta a toast, as the refusal will make the host llose face. Giving a medical reasons in advance is always a good way to ensure that no one is offened. If you clink glasses with someone, always keep the rim of your glass below the rim of theirs. You don't hav eto drink to the last drop, unless someone specifies "ganbei" or "bottom up". Sometimes, if you are late or have made a joking mistake, you may be "punished " to drink three glasses of alcoholic beverage to show you' re sincerely sorry. This "punishment toast" is, of course, just for fun.
