[read 1234567890]

 Makgeolli is traditional Korean rice wine made from fermented rice or other grains. If you drink just the top layer of the final product, that's called dongdongju. If you drink the bottom layer mixed with its natural sediment, that's called makgeolli. 

 It's amazing how what used to be considered a cheap farmer's drink is now one of the most popular forms of alcohol in Korea! Domestic makgeolli sales have also been going through the roof recently. Exports for the milky drink has also been steadily on the rise, especially to neighboring Japan. There are bars popping up left and right devoted to only serving makgeolli. However, drinking too much makgeolli can lead to severe hangovers. 

The government recently held a contest for the best English name for makgeolli. "Drunken Rice" came out on top.
