I’m almost afraid to ask, but what is Soju?

Korean booze, closest thing to Cambodia I could think of.

Most brands of modern soju are made in South Korea. Though traditionally made from rice, most major brands supplement or even replace the rice with other starches such as potato, wheat, barley, sweet potato, or tapioca (called dangmil in Korean). Soju is clear in color and typically varies in alcohol content from about 20% to about 45% alcohol by volume (ABV), with 20% ABV being most common. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter because of the sugars added in the manufacturing process.

We were warned not to drink it when I was in Korea since the locals would cut it with wood alcohol and you could go blind drinking the stuff.
