On the flip side, you need to be careful about how much you drink in South Korea. If some drunk guy can get from North to South, another drunk guy can end up going from South to North.

What made me surprised is that the man had the access to liquor. I thought they forbade the sale because "root of evil aka Democracy" ideas would be developed. Plus it would have been expensive if it is for sale


NK regime touts itself as a democracy. Why would they consider democracy the root of evil?

If North Korea figures out who he is and he has family...pretty sure they are screwed if he doesn't go back or something.


If he goes back they'd probably spare them and kill him

Nah, He would get rewarded since he didn't join the "evil" South. But if he stays, surely his family will suffer, thats why NK people don't mass defect to SK.
Still, many people here got brainwashed so much by the Western media, NK is not that bad compare to the middle East. They have access to many things(hence their Chinese neighbour). They just got the Kim family as their religion thats all.


First of all, many Red Army veterans were executed by the Stalinist regime. I bring this up to highlight the fact that the so-called communist dictators (and Kims are much closer to Stalin than to their Chinese counterparts) often don't act in a sane manner. If he got back to NK, he would most likely get executed.

Second of all, NK is way worse than Middle East. In Middle East people don't have to resolve to cannibalism due to famine. In NK this happens periodically.

I'm confused, how was he able to drink alcohol in the first place? The average North Korean is not able to drink alcohol im pretty sure.

How do we know hes not one of the bad guys?

You can make alcool yourself with almost anything. My grandfather (R.I.P) told me that when he was a prisonner of Nazis in the 40's he and his buddys used to produce vodka with potatoes and get drunk inside the camps !

If you has the technical knowledge and anything with sugar or starch, you can produce vodka, even in NK.

In all fairness, considering he managed to get drunk, he probably is probably from the military or upperclass.

Doubt the average North-Korean is going to turn potatoes into a luxury product.

Potatoes was just an exemple to show that you can make alcool with almost nothing.

For those who have trouble understanding how he got alcohol. It is very cheap to make, and most likely shipped from Russia, and therefore not very expensive even in NK.

That said, i have a friend to went down to NK, and they did indeed serve Alcohol so that person getting hold of alchohol doesnt seem unlikely.

You do realize that almost all vodka is made with potatoes, right? It's not the main ingredient in all of them but a portion of most commercial vodkas come from potatoes...

lol, I can't imagine they'd take too kindly to your drunken ass washing up on their shores.
