Maybe the glasses are big, with narrow tops that have a cork in to keep the wine good

"Wine" covers a multitude of sins! But I bet it's supermarket quality, 5.99 a bottle

No I don’t drink wine but around £8 a pint would be average. This is just in local pubs not anywhere particularly special

Luckily for me "most places I drink" is at home, where, on average, beer is £1.50 a pint and wine is £6 a bottle.
Wolf Blass cab sav 14.5% this evening. Thanks to clubcard price and 25%-off-6-bottles-week, it came in at under £6.

i binned it a while back, a shame as it was great for news, but just became such a cesspit I decided to close my account, I’ve not missed it.
Wow! Admittedly, drinking out is cheaper here, but £8 a pint, £15.90 for a glass of wine… madness.
I pay €2.80 a pint in my local, €3.50 to €4 along the (tourist) playa. I can get a decent bottle of wine for between €8 & €16, again depending on where I’m drinking.

The young lady who, at 0645 this morning, flashed me to get out of L3 of the M4, and then flew into L4 in a fit of rage, gesticulating wildly that I needed to move over - she obviously couldn’t see the lorry in L2 that I was alongside, which was overtaking a lorry in L1…. I laughed at her as it was so ridiculous, that turned to an irritation, (ok, maybe more than an irritation) when she cut up the car in from as they indicated to pull back in, and then break tested them!
I got slightly more irritated as she sarcastically clapped as we all pulled into L1 as we finished passing each other, she then drove up behind another vehicle and just sat behind them in L2 until I left the motorway.
Utterly bizarre

Most places are between £7-£8. Fortunately I’m not a big drinker.
Not looking for a lodger are you?
Cost you a few beers
Blimey, depending on what you are drinking, beer or foreign lager, pints are £4.00-£5.50. Go into Newcastle and you can add another 50-75p only.
£8 sounds off the charts

I’m in the same boat, my local pubs in the village £7.90 for a pint of Guiness, no idea about lager as not drunk the stuff in years.
Went to an event last night in Camberley bought 2 pints got zero change from £15.
It’s not a flex it’s just the real life cost in some places especially down south where I am. Social drinking is all but dead due to the costs of a pint.

The nearest pub to me is a Weatherspoons. If I go in there an average lager is £4.Blimey, depending on what you are drinking, beer or foreign lager, pints are £4.00-£5.50. Go into Newcastle and you can add another 50-75p only.

Anywhere else is £7-£8.
Only time it might be cheaper is if there is a deal or happy hour or similar.
I paid £6.50 for a beer in Brighton this week during happy hour

Had a Pint after the poppy launch on Friday night. £6.75.
Thursday night I went to Tesco and bought 3 x cases of 1664, 15 cans in each case. £10 a case. 45 drinks for £30 as against 5 pints for £33.75.

Yeah I don’t think so…I drink regular in central London, and often in Chelsea. Nothing like that price is an average.

Well I’m not in London! And I can promise you it’s £7.90 for a pint of Guinness in both of the pubs in my village, the only cheaper one is further out that’s sub £7 but I’d have to drive to get it, if I want a cheaper pint than that I’d have to drive even further into a main town and then it’s pointless having a beer,Yeah I don’t think so…I drink regular in central London, and often in Chelsea.

But I appreciate you trying to tell me it doesn’t cost that on average where I live because you get a cheaper pint in London
