About this episode
This episode discusses the cultural significance of baijiu and how to express a preference for beer in Chinese.
The mere mention of baijiu, the "white alcohol," strikes fear into the hearts of those foreigners who have tasted the fearsome liquid. Fortunately, it's usually not the only option. Knowing how to say "I prefer beer" may save you not only the gustatory punishment of the moment, but also the wicked hangover of the next morning. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/1694
