How to Say ‘Chat over another drink’ in Traditional Chinese

多聊一杯

duō liáo yī bēi

[dwaw lyow ee bay]

💬 Usage Tip: This plays on the pattern [verb + 一杯] around drinks, where [一杯] means [one more drink / a drink]. You can hear similar bar talk in [再喝一杯] and [先喝一杯].

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [多聊一杯] is not a fixed textbook phrase, so it feels playful and creative. In a bar, that kind of slightly bent wording can sound charming if your tone is light.
