Half a glass of wine and I'm commenting on everything, sorry not sorry.

6 beers in, 4 shots of soju, the night is young. 🎤

I've got soju chilling in the fridge ready for soju cocktails, aww yisss. Time for some Expedition 33 before I'm too far down the drinks list.

Soju cocktails? Tell me more? We drink it in shots. The Korean guy at work says flavoured soju is for the girls. Lol.

I listened to this podcast where they talked about a couple in this Korean divorce court show. The husband had a major drinking problem, and he would drink bottles of soju a day.

Soju is lethal

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Soju is crazy. It's the kick of full bodied wine with none of the mouth feel so often we don't realise how insanely strong it is. Boyo was surprised his soju cocktail was 3.4 standars drinks.

We drink it in shots as well, but we went to a Korean place that did cocktails. Our fav is Lychee soju with Lemonade and cranberry juice. They used a whole bottle of soju in it!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I like the lychee. Might have to do this. Thanks.

I don’t think you’ve had enough.

Here you go.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bottle of soju later, think I'm ready for more. Whatcha reccomend?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I would have gone apple cider. My favourite.
