The alcoholic life of a city woman
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“Even if I stumble sometimes, I am still mainstream.”
The legendary drunkard Mikkang from 『Drunken City Girls』 is back!
The taste and style, the shaking and momentum that clank in the wine glass of a drinking woman
“I don’t get drunk.
“The world is drunk on me.”
The glass is overflowing, the center is shaking, and the woman is cheerful!
Mikkang's Drunkenness (X) Taste Diary: Following the Tastes of Eastern and Western Alcohol
The original author of 『Drunken City Women』, which was dramatized based on the explosive support of readers and has become a representative TVING drama, is Mikang.
For those who have been eagerly awaiting her 'drinking story', she is back with the strong scent of whiskey and the savory flavor of makgeolli!
It's been 10 years since "Drunken City Girls" came out.
The webtoon world's leading drinker who used to shout "Work Later, Drink Now!" is now a tired 40-year-old who mutters "Work Later, Sleep Now..."
Writer Mikang, who was going back and forth like a pendulum between worrying, "Haven't we talked about alcohol enough?" and the fact that he still likes alcohol, decides, "Let's go together, me who wants to be new, and me who still likes alcohol." He decides to tell the story of the alcohol he drank at important moments in his life.
"The Life of a Drinking City Woman" is not fiction.
The author of Mikang unfolds a lively story of the alcohol he has actually consumed and his memories of it through two lively drinking parties, the first being 'Western alcohol' and the second being 'Eastern alcohol'.
From basic drinks like beer, wine, soju, and makgeolli, to the mysterious taste of the Dirty Martini, a cocktail made with lots of olive broth, to unique drinks like 'Pine Tree and Crane' that is closer to medicine than alcohol, to the profound taste of Samhae Soju, which author Mikang strongly recommends to soju lovers, and the refreshing scent of plum wine that he personally pickles and drinks each season - Mikang's alcohol comic encyclopedia, which is over 400 pages long, is full of stories about alcohol and drinkers.
Author Mikang has boldly shattered the stereotypes and prejudices of women who enjoy drinking, and has portrayed the style and energy of women who work, love, and drink.
A drink by a woman who chooses her own tastes and attitudes, as if shouting, “The ‘mainstream’ of this area is women!” A magical story about alcohol and drinkers from all over the world, past and present, who saved the lives of those who were not mainstream.
A very useful alcohol comic dictionary for those who want to be friends with women who drink, and to instantly increase everyone's drinking taste at the drinking party, is now available.
“Okay, let’s go together.
I, too, want to be renewed.
Even I still like alcohol.” (Page 19, ‘Gin and Tonic’ section)

Publisher's Review
“Medicine to the pharmacist, alcohol to the thief.”
The glass is overflowing, the center is shaking, and the woman is cheerful!
Mikkang's Drunkenness (X) Taste Diary: Following the Tastes of Eastern and Western Alcohol
Could a glass of alcohol drawn in a cartoon look this delicious?
A 500cc glass of draft beer with snowflake-like foam and golden liquid when you're thirsty, the taste and aroma of whiskey that tickles your nose as you sip it 'neatly', and a refreshing highball that makes you exclaim, "Wow, so refreshing!"
Author of 'Sooldo-nyeo', Mikang, uses comics to share tips and common sense to help us enjoy the alcohol we often drink in our daily lives even more deliciously.
Not only does it teach you how to choose the sake that's right for you by looking at sake menus and labels with confusing names like Ginjo, Junmai, and Daiginjo, but it also tells the story of the alewife of the Middle Ages, who would announce the birth of delicious ale by hanging a giant broom when ready to sell, and who was later accused of being a witch - the secret history of alcohol and the secret weapons of drinkers also flow through author Mikang's wit.
“I will pour the glass.
“Life follows me!”
A guide to mainstream life from a sool-do-nyeo, Mi-kang, for non-mainstream people who want to become mainstream.
But this book doesn't always feature excitingly delicious drinks.
A 'bomb drink' that working city women often have no choice but to drink.
Bomb shots are followed by unpleasant memories such as 'company dinners, embarrassment, bosses, and being forced to eat'.
“It’s all lousy… It’s all lousy… The lousiest of all is…” Mikang says that the thought itself is ‘it’s okay to do that’.
Isn't the bomb shot, which the powerful forcefully push on the powerless under the pretext of livening up the drinking party atmosphere, the drink that a true drinker hates the most?
“Perhaps… in those days when overwork was so normal, when I was desperately trying to prove my worth, when I had no time to drink leisurely, I needed this drink that exploded like a bomb so I could drink quickly, get drunk quickly, and get home quickly to prepare for tomorrow.” (pp. 56-57, “Bomb Drink”)
During her college years, writer Mikang, who worked part-time at a pub where she could pour herself a draft beer whenever she was thirsty, became a "drinker city woman" and became a representative drinker and storyteller in Korea who records the moments of people who want to drink and have no choice but to drink.
As you drink the 20 glasses of alcohol in this book, first Western and then Eastern, you will realize that this is not just a story about a glass of alcohol, but a record of the most brilliant moments in our lives that we wanted to celebrate with champagne, and the difficult days when we had to wash away our wounds with a bottle of soju.
Of course, “drinking too much is not good!” But our lives are always “overdone!”
The glass is overflowing, the center is shaking, and the woman is cheerful!
