Korean drinking is built around anju — food ordered alongside the alcohol, not optional in most places. Soju and beer are the standard pair (mixed together it is called somaek); makgeolli, a cloudy rice brew, is usually drunk with savoury pancakes. Pouring your own glass is avoided: you pour for others and they pour for you.
