Trivia: In German superstition, what beverage should never be toasted with?
Juice
Wine
Water
Beer
Correct Answer: Water
So why is this answer correct? : In Germany, always toast with your beer, but never with your glass of water. German superstition says that if you toast with water, you’re wishing death on the person you’ve toasted. It dates back to ancient Greek myth surrounding the transition to the underworld. Every spirit drank from the River Lethe, after which its guardian, the goddess Lethe, would take away memories of the spirit’s life on Earth before the transition to death.
