Centuries ago, the word cheer originally came from the Latin word for face or facial expression. The very first recorded use of the expression cheers appeared in the 18th century as a shout of encouragement or support. Today, it carries many different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. As a drinking toast, it evolved from the phrase "Good cheer" in the early 20th century. It also serves a single global purpose: bringing people together over a drink.
