Drinking is all part of the viewing experience in Korea. Beer and some fried chicken makes boring baseball suddenly fun to watch :)
Few years ago in London went to League Two match, Leyton Orient vs something, it was big surprise to me that you are not allowed to have beers in stands and also smoking was not allowed anywhere in stadium territory. Comparison - in Germany everybody smokes in stands (although officially not allowed), beer is available everywhere, etc. Latvia is kinda middle ground - you can't smoke in stands, but at least beer is allowed in most of the stadiums (on some aren't, as some small clubs play in school "stadiums", and law does not allow to sell alcohol in premises of schools).
