In the below essay, I will compare American, South Korean, and Islamic alcohol-drinking cultures.<\/p>\n<p> First, as I am from the USA I can explain about U.S. alcohol culture. In fact, American traditional culture tends to dislike alcohol. It seems that, especially in the past, there were many people who disliked it. In some states, alcohol sales are banned by law on Sundays. Also, sale of alcohol in the late evening is banned. Furthermore, in the USA taxes on alcohol are high compared other countries&#8217;. Finally, in the USA the police have to take people whom they see drinking alcohol in public to jail. Accordingly, we can say that American culture is &#8220;against alcohol&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> If we compare American and South Korean &#8220;alcohol culture&#8221;, we can say that Koreans like alcohol more. In South Korea, there seem to be almost no laws against alcohol. For example, in South Korea people can buy alcohol 24 hours a day easily. Furthermore, it seems to me there are more heavy drinkers among Koreans than among Americans. In many Korean companies, drinking with coworkers is common. In the USA, we don&#8217;t have this custom. If Americans learn about this alcohol-drinking culture in Korean companies, they will be surprised.<\/p>\n<p> On the other hand, in Islamic countries, alcohol is always banned by law. It is because of the Islamic religion. Traditional Islamic countries have no &#8220;alcohol culture&#8221;. Therefore, we might wonder what the Muslims do during outings with coworkers after work!<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"261820250445159938\" align=\"left\" style=\"width: 100%; overflow-y: hidden;\" class=\"wcustomhtml\"> <a name=\"continue\" id=\"continue\"><font color=\"white\">.<\/font><\/a> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align:center;\"> <span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yuletyde.com\/a-blog\/post-259-korean-to-each-country-its-ownalcohol-culture#continue\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><font size=\"4\"><strong><font color=\"#0700FF\">Read More<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/div>\n<div> <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--> <\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"styled-hr\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div style=\"height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align:left;\"> <span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><font size=\"3\"><strong>See also:<\/strong><\/font><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; color:rgb(62, 62, 62);\"><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yuletyde.com\/a-blog\/post-235-my-korean-essay-cultural-differences-in-alcohol\">Post #235<\/a> on the same subject.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yuletyde.com\/a-blog\/post-50-one-night-in-april-of-2009-pt-5-hwe-shik\">Post #50: One Night in April of 2009, Part V, &#8220;Hweh-Shik&#8221;<\/a> (\ud68c\uc2dd), i.e. &#8220;[Alcohol-related] Work Dinner&#8221; (as alluded to in the essay).
