The thing where you drink a fuckload of cheap Korean booze and wake up next morning with your head splitting and then proceed to blame it on something you ate🥴
When you’re drinking with someone, oldest person pours first, make a whirlpool in the bottle, tap the bottom with the palm of your hand firmly, open it then poke the top of the bottle between your first and second digit (ideally spilling some), pour with two hands covering the label, never pour a drink for yourself, the first drink is taken as a shot (the rest can be shot or sipped), turn away from/avoid eye contact with the person who poured your drink if they’re older than you. It’s a whole thing but not mandatory haha
This is our ritual. The man pours, he is older, he is more competent, into 2 shot glasses. On the hour. Every hour. We clink and say “sahtain” which means double health in arabic. Then we say “that’s a nice drop” and by 10:30 I’m nigh nighs. Sweet dreams.
What’s the ritual?

I think that’s a perfectly acceptable substitute!
We are still in the refining stage.
