      This. It’s deceptive af. My old job we had our holiday party at a KBBQ spot and all 12 of us went through like 30 bottles. I remember looking up and thinking, wtf where did all these bottles come from?!.. oh wait I’m blasted. God I miss that little company, such a fun job.

        Sounds like you dodged potential addiction by leaving that company to me

      Yeah it’s usually after like a shit ton of bottles for the whole table then you start feeling silly. Soju is the best.

      I came in to ask if there were actually people out there getting drunk before finishing a single (what is that, 500ml?) bottle of Soju!?

        I had a good friend in college who had never touched alcohol before, finally convinced him to come out for a beer and he threw up wasted all over the table after 1 pint of beer

        So it’s possible lol

        Also I think soju comes in 250ml?

      Yeah and of the entire subgroup they pick furry talk to be drunk? Near every one of those cat fuckers are alcoholics. At minimum triple this. To really get that meow meow talk you’d need to convince one of those teetotaler tiny girls to drink but you know she won’t. Instead you’re trying to get an alcoholic 190lb man named Blaze drunk enough to start that kitty babble? Try six lol.

    Soju is the same thing as what we used to call “fortified” wine like Great White. It lures you in with 20% alcohol being sneaky enough to not immediately buzz you like liquor which then lowers your guard until suddenly you’re black-out drunk singing 80s Nami songs in the nearest noraebang. OH YEONG WON HAN CHINGU! OH HAENGBOK HAN MAEUM! OH JEUL GEO EUN INSAENG! YEAH!

      This is flavored soju, which is usually around 10-12% abv and is sweetened. Very drinkable. Unflavored soju is a little less friendly if you don’t like tasting alcohol.

        Unflavored soju is my defense against drinking too much soju. I’ll have one bottle of that and be like “yep, I’m good”.

        Meanwhile, everyone else is near the bottom of their second bottle of flavored soju and eyeing a third…

      I’ve never had the flavored ones, but not really. It’s actually a very smooth drink. It’s a neutral spirit made from sweet potato so it tastes kind of like vodka, but without the bite because it’s half the alcohol content.

    ok so I don’t really drink alcohol, but some online friends got me to try soju. Grabbed some from the store and… I don’t get it. very much an alcohol taste to it. I can taste the plum in it, but it’s just not that great imo.

    Soju is literally wine strength. It’s tasty for sure but it’s not magic drunk juice any more than a bottle of Chardonnay.

      I mean taking a, out of my as guess that looks slightly larger than your average beer bottle. So that is the equivalent to 3-4 beers.

        3-4 beers isn’t even enough for me to get tipsy, much less drunk. I literally can’t understand how people get drunk off beer. I can drink the stuff until I’m literally full and just get nicely buzzed at best no matter how strong they make it. Which is fine, I prefer sweet stuff anyway. Mixed drinks and shots can actually get the job done on the rare occasion I actually feel like getting drunk.

          As a drunk and alcoholic, that’s because you’re a drunk and your tolerance is too damn high. Or you weigh like 350lbs.

    That’s not at ALL what soju is like in my experience.

    My noises are much more canine than feline!

    Personally when I have it, I get a bottle of sprite, put both in my bigass water bottle, and have a grand ol’ time.

    If that’s all it takes to get you drunk then you are the lightest lightweight I’ve ever even heard of.
