Drinking does have its downside. Especially if it is compulsory. Props to Sammy.

But it limits our freedom . Sure drinking is bad , but we are adults that can take care of ourselves. So this is a bad move

Contrary to you comment, no one is sane when drunk... And when one drinks...they probably get drunk!! Except for people who have few controlled occasional drinks.

But when, as the article says, turning down a drink might result in a bad performance review, how free are the employees anyways? From what it sounds like, it's either drink or risk losing your job.

Again I ask. How is this a bad thing unless you have to buy the rounds?

It increases the possibility of chemical dependance on alcohol, as well as the risk of harm to self and others, especially if the drinker has a low tolerance.

Just because its Asian culture doesn't mean it's necessarily right. Lord knows there's a lot wrong with American culture.

Limits employees freedom . People should be given freedom to do something as long as its not illegal

I imagine that Samsung wanted to leave that custom alone...but if their employees can't regulate themselves and their job performance suffers then they need to step in.

Drinking has no downside. Its makes lame people awesome and gets ugly people laid. Don't listen to Droid's lies!

If anyone is going to Korea planning to be a part of a big company, prepare to be wild drinkers!!
And if you are thinking of being a part of Samsung...learn to control the wild drinking habit first! :D
