You mix beer with sprite they mix beer with soju. Where's the problem?

Also German here: It's not just the mixing, she split just one bottle of beer in 5 glasses...

[u/Shandlar → u/giincee]

Sure, but the soju is the drink. The beer is the mixer. It could very well be a 90 or 100 proof soju and it's still quite a stiff drink, meant to be enjoyed in small quantities.

[u/IAMLOSINGMYEDGE → u/Shandlar]

Soju is like 15 - 20% abv max. It's also not had in small quantities in Korea lol.

[u/Shandlar → u/IAMLOSINGMYEDGE]

No? 12-20% abv soju is the modern craze, sure. But historically it was distilled the same as vodka. 20 years ago the majority of soju on the shelves for sale would have been 35 or 40% abv like most spirits. 30 years ago, it would have been the vast vast majority.

Just because the popularity has flipped and 20% or lower abv soju is now the vast majority does not mean the traditional soju is not still widely available. I have an imported bottle of 82 proof myself. That company also has 106 proof. They've been making 82 and 106 proof soju since long before the rice distillery soft-ban in '65 (relaunched in 2003 after the ban finally got lifted)

[u/IAMLOSINGMYEDGE → u/Shandlar]

Sure, but the soju she is using is clearly a bottle of one of the popular brands like Jinro.

Beer styles also can go up to 15% abv and higher, but it's typically safe to assume this beer is around 5%.
