It wasn’t good that you drank so much alcohol in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Word-by-word breakdown:
• 그쪽이 (geujjogi): “that side” or “you” (using a somewhat indirect or polite expression for the person being addressed) with the subject marker attached.
• 술을 (sul-eul): “alcohol” with the object marker.
• 너무 (neomu): “too” or “excessively.”
• 많이 (mani): “much” or “a lot.”
• 마신 (mashin): the past adjective form (derived from the verb 마시다, “to drink”) meaning “drank.”
• 게 (ge): a contraction of “것이” (geosi), meaning “the thing that…” or “that which.”
• 좋지 않았어요 (johji anhasseoyo): “was not good” (past negative form of 좋다, “to be good”).

Translation:
“It wasn’t good that you drank so much alcohol.”

Tips to remember the construction:
• Notice that Korean often places the subject ("그쪽이") at the beginning followed by the object ("술을").
• Adverbs like 너무 and 많이 come before the verb they modify; here they emphasize the quantity of alcohol consumed.
• The verb is converted into a past adjective form (마신) that, when combined with 게, turns the clause “you drank too much” into a noun-like phrase which is then evaluated with 좋지 않았어요.
• The structure “Clause + 게 좋지 않았다” is common for expressing that something (the occurrence of the event in the clause) is/was not good.

Alternate ways to say “It wasn’t good that you drank so much alcohol”:
• 당신이 술을 너무 많이 마신 게 좋지 않았어요.
 (Romanized: Dangsini sureul neomu mani mashin ge johji anhasseoyo.)
• 술을 너무 많이 마신 건 좋지 않았어요.
 (Romanized: Sureul neomu mani mashin geon johji anhasseoyo.)
• 술을 그렇게 많이 마신 게 별로였어요.
 (Romanized: Sureul geureoke mani mashin ge byeolloyeosseoyo.)
• 술을 너무 많이 드신 게 좋지 않았어요.
 (Romanized: Sureul neomu mani deusin ge johji anhasseoyo.)

Each alternative uses slightly different vocabulary or particles to convey the same basic meaning while maintaining the structure that expresses the speaker’s negative evaluation of the fact that the alcohol was consumed in large quantities.
