It's a very personal choice, and alcohol is ingrained into a lot of our society. Do you drink and if so how much?

That sounds lovely. I've never tried any Chinese liquors, but I have enjoyed sake on the occasions I've tried it. Its probably mostly convenience. Its much easier to find good wine bars and wineries where I tend to be.

    Well as the old saying goes: if you've tried a Chinese liquor, you've tried ... ah ... that specific ... Chinese liquor.

    It's crazy how much diversity there is here. I mean there's 12 official styles of baijiu alone. And that doesn't even begin to rein in the craziness of classification. Thousands of years of booze culture with a society that is VERY strict on tradition leads to fractal complexity.

    (Irrelevant side note: I brought a dear friend in Canada some "Luzhou" style—more properly termed "strong scented" in modern classification, but this was from Luzhou proper—hooch. This friend, like me, has a long history of trying different liquors from different places and has an equally broad palate as a result, but by virtue of my location I have access to stuff he's never heard of. His description of the Luzhou style stuff was "it tastes exactly like I would imagine diesel would taste like if diesel tasted really good".)
