Cheers!: Around the World in 80 Toasts

Whether you're traveling the globe or the beer aisle, Cheers! will show you there's a world of fun waiting for you. So raise a glass and begin exploring!

No matter which country you raise your glasses in, there is a universal word for cheers. In Cheers! Around the World in 80 Toasts, Brandon Cook takes readers on a captivating journey through languages from Estonian to Elvish and beyond. Need to know how to toast in Tagalog? Say bottoms up in Basque? Down the hatch in Hungarian? Cook teaches readers how to toast in 80 languages, along with fascinating drinking traditions, historical facts, and peculiar linguistic phenomena for each. For instance, Sweden has a drinking song that mocks a snooty garden gnome, while Turkey boasts words like Avrupalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınızcasına. Interestingly, the most valuable liquor brand in the world is not Johnny Walker or Hennessey, but Maotai, which was President Nixon's choice of liquor when he visited China. Whether you're traveling the globe or perusing the beer aisle, Cheers! will reveal a world of excitement and adventure waiting for you. So, raise your glass and embark on your exploration!

The audio book is narrated by Nicholas Smith and produced by Speechki in 2021.
