Significado
To consume alcoholic beverages.
Contexto cultural
The 'One-shot' ({원샷|--}) culture is prevalent. When someone shouts 'One-shot!', you are expected to empty your glass in one go. Pouring your own drink ({자작|自酌}) is traditionally considered bad luck or a sign of being lonely. Always wait for someone to pour for you. The concept of 'Anju' ({안주|按酒}) is inseparable from drinking. Different alcohols have specific food pairings (e.g., Soju with Samgyeopsal, Beer with Chicken). Turning your head away from elders while drinking is a unique sign of respect rooted in Confucian values.
The 'Anju' Rule
Never just drink. Always have a small snack on the table, even if it's just crackers.
The 'Han-jan' Invitation
If someone says 'Let's have one glass,' be prepared to stay for at least two hours!

Object Marker Drop
In casual speech, don't say 'sul-eul masyeo,' just say 'sul masyeo.' It sounds much more natural.
Declining Gracefully
If you don't drink, say 'I can't drink' (못 마셔요) rather than 'I don't drink' (안 마셔요). It sounds less like a personal rejection of the offer.
