I posted a question on another forum and there seemed to be different opinions on whether "cheers to that" was idiomatic. I believe I've heard it and seen it in moves in scenarios like this:

Two guys sit at a table in a bar, each with a beer in hand.

Guy #1: ...But I'm feeling a lot better now.

Guy #2: Well, cheers to that.

They drink.

Would it be natural/idiomatic to you?

  • I'd probably say Here's to that! as I raised my glass (inviting others to share the "toast"). As a Brit, I'm much more used to Cheers for that (thank you for that which you did for me), so the to version grates on me a bit. But there are many written instances (usually in the context of drinking, even if it's only a cup of tea! :)

Yes, it's very common, at least in Canada and the US. It means something like, "Let's drink to that" or "I'd drink to that (if I had a drink)".

Here's 100+ video examples, including some famous YouTubers like Hank Green.
