"Cheers!" is a very common phrase used before sharing a drink with someone. In most dialects of English (except American), it is commonly used to express gratitude, to wish someone good health, or offer a toast.
There's the technical junk. But personally, I like to hit things when I'm drunk. Also, it makes me happy that I'm not the only one drinking and feeling like the alcoholic that I'm destined to become.

comradery, respect, tradition. it also stirs up the fizz which is a good indication that the drink is fresh and whole in body. Here's a mean trick. Next time you and a friend are having a beer. When you toast. Tap the top of their bottle, not to hard, but not to soft and watch the eruption. P.s, ask them first, Can you drink fast? When he says yes, tap his beer and say prove it. And if they have no sense of humour stay out of swinging distance because the following results could go either way. Cheers.

I always heard it was to chase away evil spirits.
