I'm willing to bet by age 19 a good 99.9% Koreans have probably drunk beer and even worse soju. Korea is such a huge drinking society that advertising beer wouldn't be looked down upon compared to America. | ||

I remember my dad giving my soju when I was 13... Uh, also, their target audience is the 20s, I'm sure they didn't think of the minority, since the majority of the audience are in their 20s. | ||

He's 19 in Korean age if I'm not mistaken. And it's not like its difficult to buy alcohol, you just walk into a store and pay 3 dollars for each bottle of soju. You can get a bunch and they don't ask for ID or anything. On April 06 2009 16:12 The Storyteller wrote: Isn't it a bit disturbing that the team is promoting beer to a rather young audience? Young people drink all the time. Having the legal age for drinking at 21 is pretty stupid. Many people drink in college and even in high school. By making it illegal, you only increase the allure; the same thing goes for marijuana. | ||
