Hm, digging through my ancient tomes of questionable origin, I can see a reference to this circa AD 220 when Cao Cao annoyed a Daoist immortal. He was also mildly infuriated at the time, because he had just shipped all the oranges quite some distance from Wu to Wei and was looking forward to enjoying them.
So the only advice I can give you, is that if a stranger offers you a drink soon, ask them to drink half first. If they take a jade hairpin and use it to part the liquid, and proceed to drink the left half, they will be annoyed if you fail to drink the other and will turn your porcelain into a turtledove, then also give you a painful and fatal curse.
If you drink it, it's either poison or something that makes you live 500 years. The legends never clear that part up.
