Beer prices please

As I have just said to a lad here in work "I dont go on holiday to save money" If a beer was a fiver a pint I would still sup the same amount and then re-mortgage when I get home.

Here in Manchester (the bigish smoke) a pint will cost about £4 - that is not seen as unreasonable (i know I am contradicting myself, but I have now reflected after 6 coffees in 2 hours this morning :) ). Lets all go away and pay what we have to.

There are bigger things to worry about - if the bar is 5 deep to get served do I order 3 or 4 beers each to make it worthwhile the wait?

I was joking about Tesco Value - I am more of an ASDA Smartprice man :wink:

as many as you can carry I say :D

we're also "worry when you get home" type people. No cutbacks on holiday I say!

:DHi, in a word or two its not cheap,

Mind you if you buy crates from the local supermarket ( as long as this is not a supermarket in a resort up at the end of the valley) you can still find good value plonk.

In Lidl's in BsM you can buy a 24 pack of small beers (4.5% - 5%) for around 5 euros,and its preety good stuff,or a litre of wine for about 1- 1 1/2 euros.Also SuperU in BsM has some excellent well priced booze :D :D

Have a few before going out then you do not need so much while out is my motto in the current situation

Found the beer prices in Mayrhofen at Xmas were on a par with what they were in Schladming last season (E 3.50 - 3.80). I am back to Schladming on the 24th so will monitor the difference often!

Yes the Euro is not helping but it still really only equates to the prices I would have to pay for a pint in London. Not sure my wallet could cope with French 'Apres' however i'm sure Id try!! :cry:

Meh...what's the point in worrying. I'm just taking as much money as I can afford with me, plus a bottle of spirits to warm the cockles before we go out of an evening. Morgans spiced should do the trick I think.

TBH I'm so tired at the end of a day's skiing that I only want to chill out and have a few quiet pints. Really can't be doing with a hangover when I've got to get up and drive at 8 am. For that reason I don't think I'll be having too many at night.

Famous last words, of course

Whine, Whine, Whine!!! And I thought it was us Scots that were supposed to be tight!!

Enjoy your holidays, drink beer and wine, and have a ball.

Oh, and has anyone noticed the Pound is now flying and worth 1.12E!!!!!!
:D
