Now I can tell by the look of horror on your face that an explanation for this choice is required at the outset. With that in mind, I kindly direct your attention to the Korean baby mice wine photo at the left. You see, I wasn't just intrigued by the idea of beverage rodents, or even the idea of itsy-bitsy beverage rodents. No, what really took this concoction over the top for me was the sheer amount of itsy-bitsy beverage rodents floating within. Because we're not just talking about baby mice here, folks. We're talking about a pile of baby mice. A mountain of baby mice, in fact. Like K2, only with tails. And why do people climb K2? Because it's there. Exactly.
But before anyone assumes that Korean baby mice wine is all squeak and no bite, there are actually health benefits to getting your rodent alcoholic freak on. You see, villagers who were ill and didn't have enough money to visit a doctor started brewing this concoction as a remedy for everything from asthma to liver problems. In fact, many Korean people firmly believe that baby mice wine can cure virtually anything that's wrong with the human body. Kind of like an all-purpose cleaner. Or one stop medical shopping. Come to think of it, this gives the Mighty Mouse cartoon a whole new meaning. Paul Terry would be so proud. But I digress.
