It is true that the offering of ceremonial toasts is a traditional Army custom at a formal Dining-In, which includes passing the wine "over the water," an historical reference to James I, who was exiled by Oliver Cromwell. Specifically, a toast is a ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honor or goodwill.
