I'll check back in a few more, but the comment is still in the verification filter, the best I can tell.

The gin/soju parallel really grabbed me, but I think it was a false-parallel, because I don't know how well I can trust that "gin" was so much a symptom of the industrial revolution. People were drinking much more earlier in history, and so on. Interesting ideas, flawed speech because of the debatable history... though maybe there's room to argue that the gin craze really was a social crutch. (I'd need to read more to know for sure.)
