Korean Kids Too Self-Centered To Get Blottered
"Older workers and bosses still think that drinking together until everyone becomes drunk is the solution to everything and that people get closer on such occasions. However, the younger generation prefers more personal time after work and they see these events as a burden."

I can report that drinking heavily after hours is a Korean tradition that is alive and well among the youth in Los Angeles's Koreatown.
Are you guys paying contributors yet?
Your Kia ad just drove off my monitor and crashed into the credenza.
I always felt I could have done really really well working in Korea.
Further evidence to support my hypothesis, already well tested in Europe, that non-U.S. societies are better at alcohol than we are.
Wait, are said elders buying?
My business culture also supports drinking heavily after hours, even when I work from home.
