I reckon if you eat Gimchie and drink Soju every day you'll live til you're 100.

Is this right?

It's cheap mouthwash, and works great for cleaning out the coffee machine.

Just pour one bottle through, turn on the machine and let it perk. Flush twice with tap water.

I use a large bottle on the floor in the bathroom once in a while in the summer.

Mate, there's something wrong with your computer. Some of those words are just a dog's dinner to my eyes. What's that in Englishy?

�鼼�� has no relationship with ���� and it also has no lemon either.
However, you can buy lemon soju.

I think drinking soju will make you live until 10, not 100.

As for Kimchi, it has mysterious powers which only the Koreans believe.

Who bottles lemon soju in Seoul, anyway? I haven't been able to find it. Much preferred over regular soju.

Soju as a cleaner? Just use it straight, MOS?

the name "baeksaeju" means something like 'one hundred years booze'- it's made from herbs and whatnot that are supposed to make you live for 100 years.

If you mix it 50-50 with soju it's called "Oh ship sae ju" (50 years booze) which presumably cuts you down as you hit the half century

Works great as a mouthwash. Laughing Pretty good for killing germs in the toilet too. I'd never drink the stuff. Laughing

Spinoza you helped me with my grammar, so I am going to help you with this medical question.

Without a doubt if you drink a bottle of soju a day, and a big side of gimchee you will live to like a 104. Even better you will be the toast of the waygookin female population. They will follow you about all day panting, and salavating to get their clutching hands all over you!



Oh yeah to get the women you need to add in a lot of extra garlic, like a lot!

Sometimes when I felt a cold coming on, I'd drink a bottle or three of soju and my cold would disappear... so yeah, I reckon soju is good for health Very Happy
