绍兴人喝黄酒用“咪”，小口微酌，与绍兴人“拼”黄酒，最怕是经不住那三言两语的挑逗，生楞劲儿一上来，就想一口“闷”。那看似低度数的黄酒，若不知其力，满满一杯一口下肚，几杯过后便会喝得烂醉如泥，翻倒在酒桌上呼呼大睡。

Shaoxing locals use the Wu dialect word "咪" (mi1) meaning "to sip" to describe drinking huangjiu and they also compete to see who can drink more huangjiu without getting drunk. The most fearful thing is to be unable to resist a few casual words of provocation, when the reckless impulse grabs you to down the alcohol in one to reflect the intimacy between you and your friend. Although the huangjiu may look weak, if you don't know your own strength, as cup after cup go down your belly, after a few, you'll be drunk as a skunk, and you'll be doubled over on the table snoring away.

这节目不挺好看的吗？上面全都是外国人，比赛谁的中国话说得好。你别说，有几个说得还挺顺溜的，虽然有点洋腔洋调，但能说到这水平太不容易了。这得费多大的劲儿啊？看你爸这么大年纪了，还肉弱不分，一口的家乡话，到现在还改不过来。

Isn't this show great? Everyone on it is a foreigner and they compete to see whose Chinese is the best. Actually, some of them speak quite fluently. Although it's a bit accented, being able to speak at this level is really not easy. Do you know how much effort you have to put in? Look at your old father. He still can't differentiate "meat" and "weak;" he speaks purely dialect. There's no changing it at this point.
