Korean Drinking Etiquette

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Did you know that in Korea, when you enjoy your alcoholic beverage, this is the proper way to show it…

It’s adorable when you’re a cute Asian girl.

Here are a couple other facts you should know:

1) Never pour your own drinks.

2) Try not to have an empty glass on the table. Most Koreans will swoop on an empty glass, so if you do not want to finish it, leave it half full.

3) When pouring a drink, hold the bottle in your right and support your elbow with the left.

4) If you are given a shot glass you are expected to hold it with both hands while your host fills it, drink the shot, and then hand it back. You shouldn’t sip your shot but you can slow down after a while.

    I wonder if, “2) Try not to have an empty glass on the table. Most Koreans will swoop on an empty glass, so if you do not want to finish it, leave it half full.” is true for all Asain countries, cuz I was told this abut the Japanese before.
