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

as many as you can carry I say

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

Hi, 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

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

Jon.

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!!

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!!!!!!
