Good evening people, Hope we had a wonderful day? Its time to learn the Hungarian Culture…
You can say ‘cheers’ but please do not clink glasses in Hungary…
It’s almost customary when sharing a drink especially when there is a celebration to say cheers and clink your glasses. But the traditional practice is not done in Hungary. You see, Hungarian forces were severely and savagely defeated during their war with Austria in 1849 and they witnessed Austrian generals celebrating the occasion by drinking beer and clinking their glasses. Hungarians swore not to clink their glasses when having a drink for 150 years. The vow ended in 1999 but a majority of Hungarians continues the cultural tradition.

Lived with defeat for 150 whole years. Wow. I just can’t fathom this. Normally, when you say cheers it goes with the clinking
