Similar to the French “Santé!” and Spanish “Salud!,” the Portuguese prefer to drink to each other's health by saying “Saúde!” instead of simply saying “cheers.” So the next time you're about to enjoy a cachaça in Brazil, remember to say “Saúde” before you start drinking.
In this lesson we're going to look at some ways to ask, and also find out how to say cheers in some different languages. When you're toasting in Portuguese you say 'Saude! ', which would be something like 'Health!
“Cheers!” This word has been heard in bars, pubs, restaurants, and almost anywhere else you can imagine. When used as a toast, it means good wishes (before drinking). Other synonyms include: here's to you; good health; your health; and informally, bottoms up!
Saúde – Cheers
The word 'saúde' is mainly used to refer to the concept of health.
We say “Cheers!” as we clink glasses before taking a drink as a form of salutation – a gesture, or toast, meaning “to health and happiness”. While there is no definite proof of the origin of this phrase and gesture, it is said to have been an ancient tradition.

Intoxicated. Under the influence (of alcohol)
You might be familiar with pre-drinking (colloquially known as pre-loading) and think nothing much of doing it. In reality, it's a complex behaviour that has been of great interest to health psychologists and public health strategists for the past 15 years. And as popular as it is, pre-drinking isn't without risk.
Torradas are buttered toasts made from “pão de forma,” a bread with a soft texture perfect to absorb melted butter. Each torrada has two bread slices and each slice is cut into three neat rectangular tranches.
Deus te/lhe ajude or Deus te abençoe
Like “Santinho”, "God bless you" was something you said to someone who let out a sneeze, because it meant they could possibly be affected by the disease. “Deus te ajude” or “Deus lhe ajude” literally means “God helps you”, but in reality, it's a wish for your health.
