Recently i was kindly invited to dinner parties for one reason or another . It's a good chance to enjoy a wonderful meal as well as enhance interpersonal understanding and friendships and possibly get some grapevine news.

However, some people are just too hospitable. They would first try to persuade you to have liquor or wine, then persistently urge you to drink again and again regardless of your health condition and how much you actually can drink. You are in a complete dilemma: If you refuse, they would say you are not acting as a friend is supposed to; if you do as they request, you'll be bound to suffer. In my case, it means I'll be tossing and turning in bed, or staring into the darkness, unable to go to sleep until some light comes through the window, for my sensitive stomach would always revenge!

I admit it's common practice and they generally have no mean intentions; probably they just want to show their hospitality or enthusiasm. But they do make us do things which we otherwise would never do; it's just against our will! In both Chinese and Western cultures there's a similar proverb: Do as you would be done by. So i should say it's bad and not morally healthy and should not be encouraged. Sometimes we have to stand up and speak out against it. Let's join efforts and say No loudly and firmly to this ugly bad custom!
