I’ve spent a bunch of time in Japan. I would hear all these stories on Monday about the drinking that went on over the weekend. On one of these trips we had an older Korean-American on our crew. He would always buy lots of Soju for our co-workers.Baijiu
I've been to Russia. I went a ballet, in the intermission they had a bar in the lobby where a number of different vodkas were offered. I tried several, they were the best I have ever tasted, and I can taste the difference. Smirnoff wasn't even offered.Saki should be served at body temperature, so I was told. If you open a can of Budweiser and set it on a shelf in your garage for a week in the summer and then sip it out of a shot glass, that's about the effect.
I wasn't aware that the Russians actually drank (or shot up) Smirnoff. Smirnoff is to vodka what Canadian Hunter is to Scotch.
Got to step up your game!how in hell did I derail this thread and it stayed on topic anyway?
