The tradition of a celebratory “toast” began with the ancient Romans. Historians believe that the fall of Rome may have been contributed to this tradition as well. How you ask? Romans would boil wine in lead pots and mixed lead with wine to help preserve it and infuse a sweet flavor. Their wine had a very unpleasant taste and had excessive acidity. A piece of toasted bread would be dropped into their wine in hopes it would absorb the badness. There is much debate among historians about how much lead poisoning contributed to the decline of the empire.
