If you are intelligent, unlike I was a few years back, you will not drink Yanjing during dinner, during the after-dinner poker game and then use said remaining Yanjing as a kind of chaser as you finish off a half liter of leftover erguotou (1 liter bottle at 6 RMB with 57% by volume). The resulting sickness and hangover is a painful painful lesson learned...

It is quite nice when eating a meal though with the old-school Chinese men in restaurants. Very cultural and certainly cleans the palate (while burning your throat) between bites. Hint: do not bother smelling it.
