Anyone who pays £8 for a pint is a cunt.

£6 for a bottle of bud was heartbreaking for me at a do. Utter fizzy shit.

Glad I packed up drinking, that's £40 for a round if there is five of you. Two rounds and a curry you are looking at £120, and I'm moaning that 24 cans of Coke Zero has hit £9!

yet Supermarkets are allowed to charge nothing , crushing pubs , community spirit and causing alcoholics by the bucket load . Needs reversing and soon , more Tax on Tesco and less on the Pub. I like a pub such an expensive past time , just not right !

nerd is spot on.
I enjoy a drink from time to time and would much rather walk down the road to my local, but two pints would cost me over a tenner. If there is a bigger group, then a round will cost even more.
Yet you can get a whole case for a similar price from a supermarket and in times when everything has gone up, except wages of course, people are going to stay in.

As the article says thats the average at one pub
£6 is still the standard in the West End
Which is still outrageous

It will just continue the demise of the pubs and of pub sports.
Young people don't drink and socialise in pubs like the young people in the 90s and 2000s. They socialise on social media or internet apps and go out to events. They load up at someones home before they go using supermarket booze and spirits.
Once the older generation are gone, the traditional pubs will disappear and any left just be glorified restaurants.
This is probably cheap by the way. It's £15 a pint in Finland and probably similar across the nordics. People still pay it. I'll stick to drinking at home and at the working mens club where prices are more reasonable.

I found out yesterday that my local club has put it's prices up again to £4.50
The same pint would have cost me £3.50 about a year ago.
I bought one of those Perfect Draft machines just before lockdown started, and it's done me fine. Works out to be about roughly £2.50 a pint.
Drinking in your pants at home is the way forward.

I remember as a nipper feeling absolutely ripped off and outraged at a pub up west charging me something like £3.50 a pint.
This was back in 2004, so it was all fields in them days

Weed is becoming more popular with youngsters instead of alcohol. This is helped by its legality in the US so lots of Influencers smoke on their channels etc and kids see it as being legal

Wouldn't it be worth just paying the extra £2?
Dunno if they'd let you get away with sitting in your pants though

I would happily pay £15 a pint and wouldn't bat an eyelid. But then £15 is nothing for people on six figure salaries like me.

Spoons real ales £2.19 but very hit and miss regards condition
The other pub i drink in which shows all the live sport on several decent screens charges £3 20 for London pride & £4.40 for Peroni so not to bad.
The so called Craft ales such as Camden Hells etc are ridiculously overpriced in most places £6 a pint
The word Craft seems to add a £2 surcharge.

TBH we've had it easy for a long long time. I can recall even 8 or 10 years back with people paying 6 or 7 euros for a 330ml bottle of nothing much in many bars and eateries out in France. Nobody batted an eyelid. It's frightening how quickly folks accept a financial kick in the bollocks... and not just on beer prices either. Most of the 'cost of living' increases going on right now are often little more than sheer 100% profiteering. Greed.
