[quote=APAULT ,35248]Declining another drink at a dinner, especially when it is in your honour, and there may be an uncountable number in your honour, is the biggest problem. When my ex employer felt he had had enough he would get his staff to take over 'honouring' us. It was his view, the custom I believe, that he was honour bound to get us drunk. If you refuse you are politely told it is Chinese custom.... and the pressure is applied. Griz, I am amazed you never saw drunkeness, but it is usually at the restaurant and it is generally quieter than we see at home.[/quote]
