See our glorious banner waving,

Hear the bugle call;

Rally comrades to the standard

Down with alcohol!

—American nonalcoholic toast, popular among temperance groups, circa 1915

To our women, our horses, and the men who ride them.

—Calvary toast, World War I, from the French

To the automobile: the rich man’s wine and the poor man’s chaser.

Here’s to my car and your car, and may they never meet.

To the confounding of our enemies.

—Toast favored and made popular by Dean Acheson
