In South Korea drinking is an important part of an social event. In my entire 40 years of lfe I gotten drunk once. I hated the feeling and for the last 22 years haven't touched alchol. It upsets some, but drinking is mot compulsorary. My Father in law used to be upset when I refused to drink with him, but he had to get used to it. My wife usedto drink a little but these days living together we are alchol free. Jyst say no and don't worry about it.
