People in South Korea drink the most alcohol in Asia. This is because a drink called soju is very popular there - it is cheap and almost everyone drinks it.
Drinking is also important at work. Bosses and colleagues often go out together and drink a lot because it is considered polite. Many even feel compelled to drink along.
On average, every adult in South Korea drinks around 13 bottles of pure alcohol per year - that's more than in China or Japan! Men in particular drink a lot there.
