Soju Etiquette

The holidays are coming and the people is getting ready for receive the new year.
Some people decide to receive the new year with high spirits that means  drinking the LOVELY  KOREAN SOJU. As I mentioned on my last post, Soju is the most famous alcoholic beverage.

In every country when you drink you have to follow an etiquette and Korea is not the exception; here are some tips if you are planning to go drink with your Korean friends or just  if you want to know more about the culture.

Korean etiquette in drinking Soju:

-You can't fill you glass by your self
-When some elder is going to fill your glass you should keep your glass with two hands
-When you fill someone elder's glass it is polite to keep a bottle with two hands.
-Before drinking people usually clink glasses.
-Usually when Koreans invite you for drink they say 술 한잔 해요(마시자), that means "lets drink together"
-While young people are drinking they play funny games and if you lose you must drink "ONE SHOT", be careful and don't get drunk fast....ㅋㅋ.
