I was reading this, and nobody seems to know for sure what it's made of.
The tentative consensus seems to be that it's ethanol, distilled from potatoes, with enzymes and salts added to speed up the fermentation, then watered down and flavoured. |

Nearly every country where there is a national drink of some kind, you can find a place you can visit so you can see how that countries drink is made......
Britain, Holland, Germany have many open breweries you can visit and watch the brewing process..
France, Spain and Italy have the same kind of thing but with wine.
Go to the West Indies and you can visit many rum factories.
Even Japan has a saki museum.......
I've never seen a soju museum in Korea. I wonder why? Soju is Korea's shame? 
Hold on I just found the Andong Soju musem http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=268166
Never even heard of that in nearly 5 years here!!!!! |

"Andong soju is 45% proof alcohol. The pureness of the alcohol means that there are few negative side effects the following day."
haha...I beg to differ!! |

Korean 'well-being' social climber wannabee twats look down on soju as a working class drink. They're all into paying 80,000 won for a bottle of average French wine nowadays.
A lot of hofs and bars won't sell it. Even though it's the national drink. Why? They can't make as big a profit out of it because even Koreans would throw a fit if soju was expensive. Afterall, it's a buck-a-bottle in the shops.
Soju is in a strange marketing position these days. It's not a fashionable or cool drink, but it is an extremely popular one........ |

From personal experience and most people I've talked to,
You would think they managed to liquify headaches and put it in there.
The stuff is GREAT when they mix it. I've tried this like... slushie mix they had. Had pomegrante and some other fruits mixed in. God it was great. I've never been hammered so fast. |
