Although it probably accounts for a day's worth of calories , there's something magical about washing down a nice, greasy burger with a cold beer.

But while the world's most famous fast-food outlet has been dragging its feet for some time, it' nows set to make a lot of McDonald's (and beer) fans happy by serving beer in one of its outlets.

The only fly in the ointment?

It'll cost you whatever the airfare to Seoul is currently retailing at.

In a bid to attract a younger clientele, McDonald's will start to sell beer in their Pangyo Techno Valley outlet, just outside of the capital, Seoul.

According to the NZ Herald , the area in question is said to popular with a "young, hip, well-paid and tech-driven" crowd.

However, before any of this lot can get too excited, beers will be limited to one per burger.

South Korea won't be the first country where McDonald's serves alcohol.

France has been in on the act for years, selling Kronenbourg in either 25 or 33 cl measures.

Neighbouring Germany started selling beer in 1971, but although it's no longer sold at all locations, it is still served in older outlets owned by German brewers with the right lease.

So if you're desperate for a pint with your Big Mac, that's probably more of a financially viable option.
