A lot of high achievers do not drink.
I did it for a while. It was not good for my health, mental and otherwise.
I have become a teetotaler. I totally had favorite drinks, and it still exists that, objectively there are certain drinks I like more, but I have become acutally ideologically opposed to alochol.
Soju
That's just wild - you a Korean or in Korea or sth?
No. Don't know why I started buying it, but I think I kept buying it because it seemed like a good amount of alcohol for me at a pretty low price and I just developed a taste for it.
This is really unique my friend. A lot of people abhor it - of course, many Koreans love it, but I think this has to do with the fact that it matches a lot of Korean food fairly well, is cheap, and... IDK, it is an acquired sort of taste...
Seeing a non-Korean say it's their favorite put me over the moon today, lol.
What this tells me is that I need to try more Korean food.
But yeah, my local state-owned liquor store carries it in Pennsylvania. They have flavored variants but I like the strait up type.
You even enjoy the straight up soju
Just fabulous. Glad to hear it.
Yeah man check out the local Korean food. It's never bad. Of course a lot of my favorite dishes can only be had in Korea, but go for it!
Glad you like it.
Grandfather's rakia. Who knows what it is would agree with me
spoiler
Rakia is Bulgarian alcoholic drink. People here say that if your grandfather doesn't do homemade rakia he isn't a real bulgarian grandfather. It is an "insider" joke
How different is it from the Turkish one?
I don't know which one are you talking about. I haven't tried it
When I did drink:
Beer: Grolsch
Hard drink: Stolichnaya
Mixed drink: I am a heterosexual male so IDK.
I enjoy whiskey with cola
