您身体没康复 医生 不让喝酒
“Your body hasn't recovered. The doctor said you shouldn't drink.”
“Please don't drink; I'm really worried about your health.”
In Chinese drinking culture, where face and social hierarchy are paramount, directly refusing a toast from elders can easily be seen as rude. Citing 'the doctor won't allow it' (yi sheng bu rang) or 'following medical advice' serves as a polite, face-saving, and irrefutable excuse to decline alcohol or urge others not to drink.
