Night Clubs and rock cafes abound in Korea. korean clubs expect you to buy a minimun amount of drinks and food when you sit at a table. In Korea, you can drink when you 19 years old in American age. Exactly 20 in korean age. In general, most Korean bars will only serve beer, soju which is a rice alcohol that is about 22% alcohol. it is drunk from small shot glasses or whiskey sold by the bottle. Koreans like to drink soju and they say it isn't taste that good but they have soju evenas they make harsh sounds after each sip. Another great option is fruit soju.
The picture is one kind of soju that Korean people likes to drink with sepcial small cup.
