To burn it off
Soju is Korea's clear spirit, sold in small green bottles and poured into shot glasses. It's on almost every table at a Korean barbecue, next to the beer.
A bottle is 330 kcal. It has no fat or protein, the calories are the alcohol. Fruit flavoured soju adds sugar on top.
It tastes mild, which is the trap. A bottle goes round a table fast, and somebody always orders another.
Tips
- 1Drink water between shots, there's always a jug on the table.
- 2Skip the soju bomb, a shot dropped into beer adds the beer too.
- 3Share a bottle between more people and keep your glass half full.
