This is false, besides the fact that Im only 2 years underage. My face starts getting red after maybe a can of regular Dry Asahi.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC303676/?report=abstract

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119327063/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0

Here are some papers that might help your understanding of what's going on.

Basically, if you're asian, there is a better than average (for other ethnic groups) chance that you are not as good at holding your alcohol. This is due in part to evolutionary differences between people in different parts of the world; Europeans purified their water through fermentation, and therefore had a use for the alcohol dehydrogenase gene. Asians, on the other hand, generally boiled their water to sanitize it rather than fermentation. This is one of many possible reasons for the "asian flush".

This is at least partially true.

I've never had soju, is it any good? I hear a lot of people mix it, but how's the taste straight?

People:

Russia, at this point in history, is entirely in Asia. I hereby extend the definition of "Asian" to boundaries never before seen (in this thread)! Hereafter, Russians are Asians!

It's overhyped. At half the strength of vodka you'd expect it to have half the strangth of taste, but most non-Koreans report they prefer vodka.

Soju is sweet (Or maybe it's because I drink the plum one). Not as strong at the start, you won't get the sort of burning sensation of baiju or vodka. It is however stronger than Sake which is piss weak.

Good to drink cold though. I would never touch baiju or sake cold.

Yep, Vodka taste alot better.
But drinking soju when having Korean BBQ with some friends in a cozy restaurant in winter is superb. I love the way Koreans give respect to older when they pour them the drinks.
And younger Koreans have to turn their head not to face the older while they emty their cup, very strange, but cute

Soju is gross. The only reason I drink it in Korea is because it's so cheap.
