Drinking and partying in Swiss german

heya peeps. the long awaited video, have fun partying :D
(i'm not really sure how the phonetical sign for the very strongly aspirated k looks [the k we've got in swiss german, but it sounds kinda like a cough]. anyway, i'm just going to use the normal k sign for that one).

to drink (non-alcoholic beverages) - trinkä ['tʰri:ŋkæ]
to drink (alcoholic beverages) - suufä ['su:fæ]

an alcoholic - än Alki [æn 'ɐlki]

booze - Alk ['ɐlk]

let's go drinking/ let's go get a drink/ shall we get some drinks? - gömmer eis go zieh (either a request or a question, depending on the intonation)
['gœmr aɪs gɔ 'tsiæ]

my shout/ i'll shout you a drink/ i'll invite you - ich lad dich i / d'Rundi gaht uf mich (sorry, i didn't say the second one in the video :/ )
[i:x lɐd ̚ dix i:] / [tʰru:ndi gɐ:t uf mi:x]

we're gonna go party - mir gönd go Party mache / mir gönd go fiirä
[mir gœŋ gɔ 'pɐrti 'mɐxæ] / [mir gœŋ gɔ 'fi:ræ]

vodka energy - gummibärli ['gumibærli]

tequila white/gold - tequila wiiss/gold [te'qilɐ vi:s] / [te'qilɐ gold]

a beer - äs Bier [æs 'biɜr]

holy cow, this just took me 40min, you guys'd better appreciate it :D xx

@acit10 well, alcohol in general isn't really good for your body ;) but as long as you don't exaggerate it, it won't do too much harm; not even gummibäärli :D

[acit10]

@Maryangel24 thank you.

btw gummibärli is bad. The contraction and expansion of your heart works ubnormally

take care! :D

[Maryangel24]

@acit10 i think almost every country does that :D ya mas!

in Züridütsch it's "Prost" or "Pröstli" :D

[acit10]

We Greeks always wish to health before drinking(Ya mas!) , we do both of them very often, so it's very rude NOT to.....

so, what's the word for cheers ?

thank you in advance! :-)
