No longer making it a toast song...
I don't think it has been one since the Reagan administration & Risk
Management (at least in theory). I asked in 2002 in New Orleans whether it
is a drinking song. The response given by one was the mere word toast makes
it a song to which one would be toasting. Think abou the "Here's to."
Currently, it's literally nothing to. Thoughts on this aspect?
