Junia hello I want to know how are
people with alcohol in South Korea
do they really drink a lot have you
experienced any drinking games with
Koreans that bring out your honestly
drinking is not really popular in Korea
most people don't really drink so there
isn't a lot of drinking I don't know
where we're gonna say there's a lot of
I'm pretty sure I wanted reading a
statistic about how Korea has one of the
largest consumptions of spirits in the
entire world that don't mean spirits
doesn't like sucking the souls out of
people be like spirits hasn't hard
alcohol yeah it's pretty hard probably
because now if you don't know what soju
is it's a green bottle of 19.5% alcohol
it tastes like nail polish remover not
that we've tried nail polish remover by
more than once and you could buy it in
Korea for between a buck two three bucks
depending on what restaurant you go to
now I know a lot of you guys don't drink
and you're worried about if I come to
Korea my gonna get pressured or I'm
gonna look bad and really don't worry
about that okay unless you're part of a
Korean company where you have to go too
quick which is like an after-work while
still in gathering dinner but she's
getting exceptionally drunk kind of
meeting yeah it's kind of more pressure
for people at that event because your
boss is like pouring you drinks you
shouldn't look rude so that's where the
pressure comes in they're hardcore I
mean we've been doing a shake ourself
when we were teachers in Korea yeah but
being a foreigner means you do get the
chance to step out of the drinking a
little bit
exactly you're foreigner card you know
but seriously guys most of you are not
going to be working at a hardcore Korean
company and if you're teaching as
teachers here you're not gonna
experience the same pressure so let's
just not even touching that don't worry
about it out too much let's just talk
about drinking life in Korea in general
now for normal Korean drinking life
you've got a couple of levels of drinks
that happen the high level would be like
bottle service so that when you order
like a bottle of you go to a bar and you
order these bottles but they're like a
hundred bucks to 200 bucks but they're
much more expensive than if you were to
actually buy the bottle like a Costco or
something and it's just basically for
when you have a group of people and
there's bottle service in North America
too but most people do not order bottle
service that might be for like a party
probably because we're we're broken we
need to shisha yeah but frankly most
people in Korea are going to be drinking
soju or beer so I mentioned before how
strong soju
and if you compare how strong soju is
along with how cheap it is it's really
the most bang for your buck so a lot of
restaurants that we go to will see some
people with like seven or eight bottles
of soju with them how do you survive
well we see some of them actually pass
out at the tables because they drank so
much soju I feel like the steel dr
deserves to have a song that we can't
afford with the copyright for we should
do the simon version of it parking lot
right
taxi drank bus drank sidewalk drank
budgie drank budgie you shouldn't drink
that's a trick question and you failed
budgie budgie you're too old we have
seen a lot of old drug people in korea
old drunk dogs these dogs get alcohol in
their bones and they just lick that up
people play a lot of like simple
drinking games like where you twist the
soju caffeine right on your Shoji kept
you have that a little like the
perforated rims supposed to take that
you supposed to twist it so it looks
like here's a cup and then here's like
little rim that's all twisted and then
what you're supposed to be supposed to
flick it right me and if it didn't fall
off then you pass to the next person and
they're supposed to flick it whoever
actually flicks it off the people to the
left and right at them are supposed to
drink so that's one of the drinking
games that we happen to play a lot yeah
so there's like a lot of fun things you
can do and it's just like light-hearted
good summertime fun however there are
people that take it to the extreme and
that happens frequently throughout the
week I don't understand I've seen wholly
hammered on like a Tuesday yeah I mean I
guess that a lot of those people are
coming from business meetings I'm the
way she's yes yes but you will see
people very drunk in Korea you know
people pass it on the ground and
something really interesting about yeah
we've seen people so drunk and totally
like falling asleep on the ground on a
curve yes there's a planet I have no
idea how they wake up with their wallet
and cell phone and their kidneys too
long them how are they not robbed when
they seem like this is what we like
about Korea somewhat not that I've ever
fallen drunkenness I just appreciate the
fact that if I ever were to be that
drunk I can still wake up with all of my
possessions on me although people might
be like isn't that type of from eat your
kimchi
now one of the things about public
drunkenness because it is a lot more
frequent here than what I've noticed
back in Toronto is that with public
drunkenness there is a lot of public
vomiting I'm not saying that everybody
vomits all the time but I've seen far
too many instances of vomit pause and of
people vomiting and I'm really not good
with seeing that I get exceptionally
queasy even thinking about it I'm like
starting to like burping a little bit
it's really rude so that's one of the
things that's not charming about public
drunkenness and cater and everything's
always read because of the kimchi yes
like you never see any color vomit
except for red chunky and the promises
are like the our studio is writing like
the the club district of Hongdae so like
right outside of our steps now if you're
not into drinking soju straight up and
you're already drinking beer a lot of
people go the mock Willy the rice wine
it's more of a traditional Korean outfit
yes now it is more like an old person
alcohol in my opinion like if you go to
a park you will see lots of old men
playing Korean game and like drinking
luckily straight from the bottle at all
times during the day because the alcohol
content is a lot smaller than sodium yes
but don't be fooled it will mess you up
I'm telling you we like Korean alcohol
but I can never even smell Makela again
it is the most deceptively yes innocent
like you think it's a rice wine our
first experience of maca league we
didn't know how strong it was
and we paid for it with like a 48-hour
hangover whole point is that I can't
even touch anymore luckily is actually
pretty good tasting and I just it's hard
for me to say it after I don't think bad
Mac police about a man trying right if
you come to Hongdae and you go to the
park the free part we keep telling you
yeah you cost to get in it's just an
open park doesn't mean you cost to get
in okay my English is not blue including
okay there is a muckle Eamon
and he's the most friendly awesome guy
he brings a carp around and he'll offer
you free rice wine is come to visit Cree
you got it is the mockingly guy you
could try the back if you aren't us and
you haven't been traumatized
I'm squeezing your butt as I cry another
thing that were noticing is that
cocktail bars are starting becoming a
lot more training so like around this
area especially in a lot of areas of
Gangnam as well you can get like
different cocktails a lot of them when
we first started seeing the pop-up we're
really authentic cocktails like mojitos
with like frozen mint Oreo mint or no
mint and like getting lives in Korea was
really difficult a while ago but now
lies are becoming more popular so you
could get a lot more mixed drinks with
mixologist and you can also find
cocktails to go so when it comes to like
cocktail bags it's really amazing like
right down the street from us there's
something called the vinyl bar and it's
like this really small bar that's
located under a staircase literally you
go in there you can see the staircase
right above you they've got a robot on
the side and they serve you mixed drinks
inside of like a bag it looks like an IV
bag and they put a straw in it and you
drink it kind of like a capri-sun bag
almost except transparent and you can
walk around in public because you're
allowed to drink in public in Korea
drinking delicious mixed drinks through
a straw out of a plastic bag it's
totally amazing it's one of our favorite
things to do and it's between four bucks
to six box
yeah they don't skimp like you can get
anything you want there Long Island iced
teas out of a little thank-you bag it's
great get up drank a shot right and now
we've seen an increase of alcohol truck
yeah it's like these little tiny trucks
that open up and there's like a free
disco ball and they're blasting music
they're like they just try bunch of
popular corners like who want some
drinks and they start making drinks
freeze yeah they have them in it so on
and there was one parked outside of our
work well yeah not that we visited not
that we've edited videos before while
drunk because that's a terrible idea
now when it comes to drinking games in
Korea there are a lot of drinking games
especially around the university age
because people are kind of like ice
break and get to know each and one of
them with the flick um but there are a
lot of others so yeah I want to know
more about them we're gonna mention a
couple more in our blog post so check
that out if you want to know more about
it you know I think we have to do well I
think we're gonna have to go all the way
or a fat bath and we're gonna have to go
with Suzy and Lee and the four of us are
just gonna have to show you guys those
games are we allowed to do that like are
we allowed to drink in YouTube videos we
have like a VR know we have a rating
because it says like this era of
substance abuse in this I'm not gay I'm
not gonna dance
abuse is becoming overly intoxicated
okay are we gonna be in dogs okay
look I'm just saying for all of you moms
watching this I'm putting a stand
against that I'm going to know the soju
bottle with water and we'll do practice
water shots to show people how to play
the games you can play the games and not
drink you know yes very good I'm
responsible I'm responsible so that's it
