    I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it

    One of my historically worst hangovers was from soju. Together with friends we went to a Korean grill place and the drinks just kept coming. Next morning was bad. I was wrecked in a ways Sodom and Homorrah were, and I was the Lot’s wife looking back at the inferno in the mirror. Big bang headache with coordination of a limp muppet and diction of a local railway station announcement.

    I’m a big guy. I’m my life I’ve experienced some shits. Metal band tours. Post game rugby bus shenanigans. Hoboing around and drinking to keep warm. Getting wasted with carbide enriched hooch while at a LARPG. Soju brought every of that memory, and played a sadistic slow motion replay, making me question every life decision.

    So yeah, gotta try that again once. And I need to score some buckfast.

      It’s soju, a Korean grain spirit, traditionally made with rice. This one is peach flavored, which means it barely tastes like alcohol and goes down extra easy, since most soju nowadays is low proof liquor.

      Soju.

      It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don’t know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer. The bottles are meant to be poured into shot glasses and shared. It has 20-25% alcohol content and some drinks are sold premixed with a juice flavor like the example in the picture.

      It is extremely cheap too in South Korea. You can buy a 20 pack case for less than $1/bottle there. You can get alcohol poisoning for less than $10.
