    I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it

    One of my historically worst hangovers was from soju. Together with friends we went to a Korean grill place and the drinks just kept coming. Next morning was bad. I was wrecked in a ways Sodom and Homorrah were, and I was the Lot’s wife looking back at the inferno in the mirror. Big bang headache with coordination of a limp muppet and diction of a local railway station announcement.

    I’m a big guy. I’m my life I’ve experienced some shits. Metal band tours. Post game rugby bus shenanigans. Hoboing around and drinking to keep warm. Getting wasted with carbide enriched hooch while at a LARPG. Soju brought every of that memory, and played a sadistic slow motion replay, making me question every life decision.

    So yeah, gotta try that again once. And I need to score some buckfast.

    Now I kinda want to try soju. I have yet to meet a drink with any appreciable amount of alcohol in it that doesn’t taste like paint thinner smells to me. The only way I’ve ever been able to “not taste the alcohol” is if there’s barely any in the drink.

      Soju tastes kinda like vodka. I think sake is a good balance of “high enough alcohol” and “doesn’t taste like paint thinner.” Not a connoisseur by any means but a bottle of Kurosawa is cheap and tastes pleasant and fruity, and has around 14% ABV.

        I probably won’t be able to tolerate it then sadly. I’m super sensitive to bitter flavors that’s seemingly why alcohol is always so unpleasant to me. I’ve tried so many drinks that even friends who barely drink at all say they can hardly taste the alcohol that all tasted just vile to me. Thanks though!

          Ok, I take it back. I just got some peach Jinro soju, it’s 13% ABV and doesn’t taste like alcohol at all. Even less than the Sake. Definitely try it.

          Sake is meant to be sipped diluted. Get a small bottle of something decent or a big one of the good shit to share with friends.

          Also look uo good coctails. And ice creams.

      If that’s your metric just drink “flavored fortified wine” aka bum my wine like MD 20/20. It’s really high alcohol content and super sweet to mask the poor quality.

        I’ve tried wines like that before. I apparently have that gene where you super taste bitter and it just tasted like flat LaCroix mixed with paint thinner.

      I think Ginger Beer masks vodka well (I.e. Moscow Mule). I actually like the tastes of some alcohol though (wheat heavy beers, and scotch). Hate IPAs, the weird sour/sweetness of bourbon, and the weird aftertaste of tequila.

        They’re supposed to have different tastes? I’ve tried several different kinds of rum and vodka along with a Buddy of mine buying some Crown Royal Black to share with me at my 21st and I couldn’t tell the difference between any of them. I could tell the difference between a few of the different beers I’ve tried but none of them tasted anything like they were described to me.
