 |

| From Jan to Sept 2004 around 2.25 billion 360 ml bottles of soju were sold in Korea. Around 50 million population. Per capita each Korean drank approx. 45 bottles of soju in the first 9 months! Gives me a headache just thinking about it. Cheers Korea! |

I read an article in the Seoul MAgazine(name?? the free one you see in the pubs) about a crazy guy from Northern Ireland who's going to try set a record by drinking 20 bottles of Soju. Something to do with his religious beliefs??????????
Good luck to him, da mad eejit. |

Seoul Classifieds is a terrible magazine, the only good bit are the classified ads.

1 bottle of soju is 360ml and 23% alcohol.
So 3 bottles is roughly a litre of 23% booze.
That means 12 bottles of soju has the alcoholic content of a one litre bottle of Smirnoff. Roughly.
Drinking any more than one bottle of vodka in a sitting is really asking for alcoholic poisoning. Death is possible. Or at least a fuckid up liver.
We Irish may be drinkers but we're not stupid!!! (Yes, I read the article was a joke...just making a point) |

Has anyone heard about what soju is actually made from?
I have heard it is pure chemicals...and really bad for you. |
