    OP, you idea for a thread is much too complicated to be taken seriously!
    Not that anything's every taken seriously here, for starters.

    Ireland's cheapest drink?

    Tap water! - and you can have as much as you like ;)

    Not in my taps!

    Bottled water all the way!

    Even if it tastes disgusting, it's still free!

    A lot of alcohol is disgusting and you'd pay a small fortune for it :P

    You make a good point.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32 MarcusTheCarcus


    Actually, the tesco Cider tastes exactly like Stonehouse-cheap and horrific, but far far far from undrinkable

    I do agree with you though! When I'm in Cork, I drink bottled water. The tap water is contaminated with sewage and chemicals!

    Tesco had 12% wine 750ml for €4, that's 22.5 ml for a euro and it tasted fine.

    Where can one get hollandia still? Not seen that stuff in ages, not noticed it in Tescos, Dunnes, Centras etc.. €1 a can sounds quite good so I'd be interested to know if its still going

    Couldn't be arsed calculating but Frosty Jacks cider. 7.5% in a 3ltr bottle for €3.75. Sure it might taste like Quasimodo's sock juice but when you on a college budget theres nothing better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    I think you've got the wrong idea about alcohol, OP. And yet we wonder why our country has a bad name...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,251 ✭✭✭The Walsho


    I think I have the answer. For the next week Lidl are doing some German Pils (Perlenbacher) 4.9% at €4.99 for 6 x 500ml bottles.

    So that's 4.9%, 83c a bottle (always nice than a can). Alcohol per Euro: 29.5ml

    And it's probably decent.

    You're welcome.

    You have way too much time on your hands. Have a nice drink or an army tank instead.
