| i stopped drinking soju altogether, just pay the extra $5 for a bottle of wine, as well as the advantages of not tasting horrible and giving you stomach cancer, it means you drink less cos you are going to think about spending $20 on getting boozed up than 5 |

Soju is not the enemy.
People who encourage you to binge drink with soju are the enemy. |

| Soju was my enemy on Monday night. I have never been so drunk in my entire life. I was feeling fine, feeling fine, feeling fine, and then BAM. Out of nowhere, drunk out of my mind. It really crept up on me in the way that other forms of alcohol never have. |

| Soju is like anything else. Just don't go nuts on the stuff. Moderation. I drink soju but I would never even consider drinking more than a bottle at any one time. Frankly, I don't know how these Korean guys spend an entire night drinking this stuff. That's gotta be bad for your health. It would certainly explain the vast quantities of vomit you see all over the place in this country. |

I have an old saying about soju.
Don't trust a foreigner who says they like soju. You don't know what else they're lying about. |

I disagree. After having lived here for many years, I find soju a nice accompaniment to samgyeopsal and other forms of barbecue, spicy foods like dalkkalbi, and raw fish. |

i've said it before, i'll say it again -
the reason why people get so killed by soju seems to be what my problem is.
first, you start with beer. you get a little tipsy on that.
then someone offers you some of the local crap. "shhhuuurrreee... i'll try that shtuff!"
and then you end up with a bad drink-mixing hangover.
it's like when you mix beer and gin. don't do it. |
