#7. Korea Culture.

#7. Drinking Etiquette.

I know what most of you are probably thinking: " Wow, what is the Korean word for alcoholic? " Of course there are words to describe people with a drinking problem, but such expressions are far less applied here than in the United States for example.
Conversely, the term that you are more likely to hear is something like " judang", which means "strong drinker," and in most circles this carries a somewhat positive  connotation compared to the least negative western term "heavy drinker."
No, you don't have to be a big drinker to get along with people here, but this is coming from someone who has gone from drinking a few social cocktails to routinely polishing off a bottle of whiskey during a single sitting.

Don't forget  " JuDang " ~ :)
