Soju-Favorite Drink of Korean Ladies

At Tofu House Sunday night our table neighbor was a very attractive single woman, who ordered a combo meal for herself with a bottle of Soju. We thought she knew what she was doing as we saw her drinking 3 shots of Soju in a row. We could tell she was pretty buzzed at this point so I asked her how she like Soju. She said her sister that is stationed in Korea told her she should order a bottle and try it. I told her that Soju is actually sweet potato vodka and she was amazed. It is pretty strong it's 16.8-53% alcohol by volume so it will definitely put a hurt on you especially if you're not expecting it. Our young lady was starting to nod off so we wanted to make sure she was OK. She offered the single gentlemen at the table next to her a shot of soju as she certainly didn't need to drink anymore.

He took his shot and promptly choked on it. Maddie and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for him to be gallant and take this poor girl home she was attractive after all. She offered to give Maddie a shot as well. I've drank soju in Korea and I try to avoid it as much as possible. I've seen Korean women drink multiple bottles of soju and not pass out. We were concerned that our drunk Cinderella would not make it home safely from the ball so we wanted to make sure she didn't get into her car and try to drive back to LaMesa, which is pretty far away. We told her to go to the crepe place down the way for dessert and coffee to sober up. Our gallant gentlemen cut and ran as soon as he could he didn't even want to try to bed Cinderella this night. We paid our check and walked down to the crepe place to make sure Cinderella was eating  a crepe and ordering coffee. We found her safely inside ordering away.  So if your sister tells you to drink Soju, she's either Korean or she's got an iron stomach and gigantic liver. Asians typically like distilled spirits with soju, baidu, and moutai leading the way.
