Whoa - 'Foreigners in Korea, who have taken to it like pigs to shit, call it "marting." (well - that's a rather objective comment)
'At the mart, you're paying less than what you'd pay at the Beer Store back home.' (really? has the writer done any research at all? But alas, a dump journalist is a dump journalist - welcome to the fox news era).
'Because it's so public, marting can often lead to more fights than in a bar. There's no need to step outside when you're already outside.' (Haha - this truly is the dumbest article I've read in a long time - oh vice, you are a prankster  |

| The author said that Koreans don't have a name for it, but they do have some slang words for each store. They shorten the name of which ever convenience store it is and add "bar" to it. 7-11 would be 셋바, ministop is 미바, Family Mart was 패바 so I guess you could make it 쿠바 now or 시바..... |

This "phenomenon" is because the police in Korea let people drink in public unlike the tyrants Canada/USA. I also drank alcohol in public parks in France and Germany. It's Canada and the US that are abnormal.
In my town in Canada there is a summer concert in the park series. No alcohol allowed. The adults are treated like school children. |

| Back in my old hometown in Canada they have outdoor concert festivals and sometimes drinking is allowed but only in a small designated fenced off place. The spot is always surrounded by cops that are just itching to run in and start roughing people up. I don't even go to these things anymore when I'm there. Adults are treated like children. In North America they have no patience with drunk people at all. |

You could start an organization that fights discrimination against drunks.
Drunks are people too--just because they puke on your shoes, start fights, are obnoxious enough to ruin the concert for everyone around them and get behind the wheel half blind is no reason not to let everyone drink whenever and wherever they want.
Did you mean to say drunks act like children? That would be closer to the truth. |

I think we all know every person that ever consumes even one beer at a music/sports event is a drunk.
I call upon the powers of Canada and USA to annihilate this segment of population - put them in concentration and work labour camps so that they could do at least something that would benefit our benevolent society.
This scum shall not be tolerated! Sarah Palin 2016!! |

So you've come to SK for the freedom to be an obnoxious drunk? That's a noble cause. |

Name calling isn't going to work. Try harder. |

Drunks are oblivious so it would be pointless to "name call."
However, when you've sobered up, you might ask yourself why you drink so much? What are you trying to escape from? Why are you so unhappy?
Deep thoughts, if you're up to them.  |
