Drinking etiquette in Korean etiquette
If a Korean has a distinguished guest at home, the host will feel very honored and usually treat him with good wine and food. Guests should drink as much as possible and eat more vegetables. The more you eat, the more proud your master will be.

The traditional concept is that "the right is superior to the left", so it is considered impolite to hold a cup or wine with your left hand. Only with the permission of the elders can subordinates (junior) propose a toast to their superiors (elders). The toaster holds the bottle in its right hand and the bottom of the bottle in its left hand (use both hands). He made a bow and poured wine for his superiors (elders), usually three cups in a row. The toaster can only toast, not drink with the elders. If the grade and seniority are too different, you can't drink at the same table. Under special circumstances, when people with different status clink cups together, people with lower status should hold the cup lower, touch the other side's cup body with the edge of the cup, and can't hold the cup higher than the other side. Otherwise, it is impolite. The younger generation and the lower level should also raise their faces and raise their glasses.

Koreans generally avoid four words. Because in Korean, four is pronounced the same as death, which is traditionally considered unlucky. There is no fourth building, four floors and four rooms in Korea, no fourth division in the army, no four tables in the banquet hall, no four toasts and no four people in a row. In addition, pregnant women should avoid breaking bowls for fear that the fetus will crack their mouths; Marriage avoids the zodiac, and the wedding period is two days, avoiding a single day; Say auspicious words in festivals; Men should not ask women's age and marital status; Apologize when sneezing; Cover your mouth with your hand or napkin when picking your teeth; You should use your right hand when handing things, not your left hand, because traditionally you think that your right hand is superior to your left hand. It is impolite to hand things with your left hand. You should use both hands to give things to or receive things from your elders.
