South Korea is known for having a fun night life where drinking with peers is a big part of it. Not only is it a time for socialization and stress-relieving, it is also a place to have fun and relax as well.
When you watch South Korean dramas, there are many instances that the characters go drinking together at some point. Given they aren't high school students or younger, the characters engage in conversation more comfortably when they're out drinking. This doesn't veer away from real life as it is part of South Korean culture to share a drink with a peer in a social gathering.
