09강 주량 I most often drink at staff dinner parties

I most often drink at staff dinner parties, which are called hoe-sik in Korean.
We have these occasions twice a month on average.
Other than that, I would say I’m more of a casual drinker.
I drink when I get together with close friends off and on.
I like drinking draft beer, but I enjoy drinking soju, too.
I would say I drink fairly well, but I still have my limits of course.
I can drink two bottles of soju before getting too drunk.
But how much I get drunk also has to do with how fast I drink or whether I had plenty to eat before drinking.
If I drink too fast or drink on an empty stomach, I would get drunk much faster.
Back when I was in college, I used to binge drink quite often. I even blacked out on several occasions. But I don’t do that anymore because I hate getting nasty hangovers.
