People here are very respectful of my not drinking and after I've said it about 500 times they've almost stopped pressuring me. But that doesn't mean I'm left out, I'm still included in all party activities! So this weekend for example, I was taken to a bar where I was shown the 200 variations of the Bud-Whisky cocktail ( e.g. the twister, the golden ring, the love-variations....).
Yes, it IS Budweiser and Whisky. And yes, after variation 200, people DO start to get a tad tipsy.

But I feel like I'm finally starting to get a grip on understanding Korean culture....
