For my cultural project, I discussed the drinking culture in South Korea. I was quite curious about this because I watch many Korean dramas and usually in offices and in the workplace in order for co-workers to get to know each other better, they may go out for drinks. I had the chance to find out the history of drinking in South Korea and how it initially started out as only drinking for special occasions, such as the time for harvest or to celebrate the new year. For me, since I do not drink, I wondered what if there are people similar to me who do not drink, what do they do in these types of situations. I found out that there are many alternatives to drinking with coworkers. One alternative is to accept a drink if you are offered one and just take sips from it throughout the entire night or just let it sit to the side. The good thing about drinking with coworkers is that you all can discuss problems that you may be having at work and just find a sense of relief when talking to others who can relate to what you’re going through.
