The answer

The phrase "bi-sehhatik" (to your health) or "fi sehhatik" (in your health) should not be used when gathering to drink juice or the like; rather, it is forbidden. This is because it is used when drinking alcohol and intoxicants. These are innovated phrases adopted by their users from non-Arabs who do this when drinking alcohol. It involves imitating disbelievers and wrongdoers, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade that. A Muslim should learn the etiquettes of eating and drinking and the prophetic guidance concerning them.
