In Greek mythology the dead are believed to forget their corporeal lives after drinking from one of the rivers leading to the underworld.
It is customary to toast the dead with water, symbolising this voyage to the underworld, and when making other toasts if they are made with water it is seen as wishing bad luck, or even death, on that being toasted.

Speaking in more detail, according to superstition, when one has bad luck coming his or her way, breaking a mirror works as a shield to bad luck. A mirror is a reflective device.

Bad luck in the bad luck dimension is good luck, which we all obstinately have.
