to your health

Glass-raising words

To your health is a toast offered when raising a glass, wishing the recipient well-being.

It translates directly from similar expressions in many languages—German *Gesundheit*, French *à votre santé*, Hebrew *l'chaim*.

The phrase sounds formal or old-fashioned in English, where *cheers* dominates casual drinking: He raised his glass and said, "To your health!".
