I prefer Jim Beam...but when Soju is only $1...you can't go wrong with getting black out drunk for $2

Whiskey, especially Scotch is great. Soju is crap. Whiskey is expensive in K-land. Soju is cheap. End of discussion. Take your pick.

No one type of drink gives me hangovers more than others. If I have a lot of mixers, I'll definitely feel terrible the next day, but that's a different story. As long as I don't drink enough to make me vomit or black out, and I have some water, or water and an aspirin before bed, I'm good. While I do like a fine whiskey and quality beer, I like soju more. Soju gives me a much more active drunk. I feel like going out on the town, talking to friends and just doing stuff. Whiskey and beer are nice, but they result in early nights. I suppose for me, whiskey is a drink to be had while cracking open a book or watching a movie, while soju is more of a social drink.

Also, I like soju because it brings back memories of days long gone. I grew up on malt liquor and thunderbird. The best was what was referred to as a "shake 'em up." This is where you take a bottle of thunderbird and a packet of cool aid and shake them up. The result is a sloppy drunk and bright blue, red, orange, green or whatever color of cool aid you use lips and tongue.
