If you want to finish your homework, then you had (or you'd) better not waste (any) time.

Hello Kati,
I like your new profile photo. I think it makes you look a lot younger than the old one did!
For your last sentence you could use either:
I drink to you or
I drink to your health.
There are some very small mistakes in some of your other sentences too, but on the whole you did a really good job of finding all those ways of saying the same thing.
If you want to go by car to-day, then you'd better not to booze.
If you want to go by car to your grand-mother's, then you'd better not take to a drink.
There is an excpression 'take to drink' but it tends to refer more to long-term drinking:
When his wife died, he took to drink.
If you want to go by car this evening, then you'd better not drink from this wine.

Dear B.Z.
Thanks for correcting all my mistakes. I am sad when I see that I made mistake from through an oversight.
I wanted to practice:
you'd better not + drink /Infinitive without to /
And upon that I write to booze. I made it from an oversight. But this isn't an exempt me from this because it is a mistake.
When I used to be young I was very good at maths and I could solve the very hard maths tasks but I made a mistake in the addition etc. - so my result had been faulty. My teacher was angry with me.
Getting older we remain the same who used to be.
Am I right ?
Thanks again:
Kati

Hello Passo.
Am I right? is a question.
I am right. is a statement.
Kati was asking a question. She wants to know whether she was right or not.
