Why do you say 'cheers' when you drink? To say 'cheers' is a traditional and informal 'toast' to one's companions. It is spoken loudly and clearly whilst raising the drinking vessel (glass or tankard etc), and just â¦before drinking the alcoholic beverage.
Etymology and history. The word toast, which means sliced bread singed by heat comes from the Latin torrere, to burn. The first reference to toast in print is in a recipe for Oyle Soppys (flavoured onions stewed in a gallon of stale beer and a pint of oil) that dates from 1430. In the 1400s and 1500s, toast was discarded or eaten after it was used as a flavouring for drinks. In the 1600s, toast was still thought of as something that was put it into drinks.
