    I hear loads of people in local pubs giving out about being ripped off over drink prices but i think where i live is probably as cheap as anywhere in the country. How do we compare??

    Pint Guinness/Beer 3.00
    Lager 3.30
    Cider 4.20
    Vodka, whiskey etc. 2.80
    Splits 1.90
    Alcopops 4.50

    How come cider is so much dearer??

    In my local Cider is €3.60 while a pint of lager is €3.40. Guinness is around €3.15. Not sure about the rest.

      most drinks in your local cost around 3.50ish, except smirnoff ice etc, they're just over 4 me thinks

      I was in that, er, non-duty free, er, non-haven, called Monte Carlo, last weekend.

      I was stocking up on a few bottles of wine and I noticed the large bottle of Baileys (which is 28 Euro here) was only 14 Euros. That's half the price in a place noted for it's expense.

      Sickening.
