West Indies - I paid USD$2.98 for a beer last night, but only $1.67 for one at the gas station and it’d be about a dollar in the supermarket. We don’t tip on top either. I’m saying beer but I mean lager.
Daegu, Korea: $3-5 for beer, $6-8 for shots or cocktails most places. I don’t drink wine, so no idea there.
Stockholm. Ignoring the utter dives, a beer or wine will fetch you back about 65 sek, that’s 9.5 usd Cocktails are a law utter their own, you are lucky to get change from 20 usd.
As recently as a few short years ago, a local bar still offered 50-cent beer “tappers”. I think they were 7 oz glasses.
Other than that, $6 is typical for a single glass of house wine. Other beverages I know little about, since I don’t drink much in public, especially if I have to pay for it.
1 big glass beer…less than 0.75USD
China:)
Here in NYC, drinks can be anywhere form $3 to $15, depending on the location and type of establishment.
There is a little dive bar not too far from me - I don’t usually go because it is filled with prejudiced rednecks - on a Sunday I can get a glass a beer and a slice of pizza for 1.75 US.
But in some of the nice places in town I’ll pay 3.5 to 5 for a beer.
In Tallahassee, Florida:
- I usually drink Pabst, and I usually drink it for a buck a beer. That could be a pint, a 12 oz can, or a tall boy, depending on the bar. It may be as much as $2 per, but if I pay more than that for PBR I feel like a putz.
- Other beers run from $2 - $3 (domestics) to $3.50 - $8 (imports and craft beers)
- I know of at least three places in town where I could go right this second and get a full pitcher of beer for under $5. In one case, under $3. But those are restaurants, and I feel weird getting soused in a restaurant.
- Shots run from $3 to $8 and mixed drinks are pretty much the same.
- I hear there are bars where you could pretty much double these prices and be on target. I do not go to these bars.
Pints of craft beer are $3-$4 generally (though you can certainly find them for $7 if you like those kinds of places. I dunno how beer remains cheap in San Francisco, but I sure do appreciate it.
