You always meet twice

My favourite drinking toast in Russian is Pod stolom uvidimsja, we'll meet again under the table. Which is exactly where you find yourself after too much vodka.

in Romanian we use to say "Noroc" (Cheers) or "Sa traim" (In our health!, "traim" means theoretically "live"), sometimes "Sa ne intalnim cu bine data viitoare" (Meet you in a good state of health next time)

In Catalan we say Salut! (literally "Health!"). And we add, of course in restricted contexts 'i força al canut' where força means power and canut means tube but metaphorically refers to a male organ, as well.
