How much is a pint of draught beer in a normal Bar or a Pub where ever you might live... Plus the dearest and cheapest you can buy them for

I don't mean beer to carry out or take home.....just to be drunk on the premises.

    The Korean language people created their equivalent to our alphabet. They write their newspapers using it so all can read it. I saw that somewhere. This post was edited by Element 99 at December 15, 2019 12:37 PM MST

    Being a natural blonde DOES have benes.  But... I have found that only works when you actually see the person you are talking with.
    Big smiles and giggles!

    I do believe the average percent for American commercial beer, such as budweiser, coors, bush, miller, etc. is 3.6.  Most micro brews are around 6 to 8 percent.  You used to be able to buy 3.2 beer when you were 18 in some states.  Colorado to name one of them.  I'm not sure that is still allowed.  It's been a long time since I was 18. ;)

    5% is the average around here but I always go for the 8 which is the same price so more bang for the buck. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I remember Bud ads. Now all they advertise is Bud light. Blech. My wife drinks that watered down swill. She must do it for the buzz, because there is no taste.

    I know. It's like club soda that you are hoping you catch a buzz from.  In the meantime, you have to pee every other beer.  It's a lost cause.  
    It can clean you out if you mix it with a rumplemintz shot!

    Is it Bud Ice?  For some reason, they have fooled people into believing "Ice" makes your beer higher in alcohol volume.  To me, it just waters it down.  
    I'm kidding.  That's not true. We have Natural Ice in our refrigerator right now.  It is 5.9%.  We buy it because it has more bang for the buck!  Just like you! :) :)
    Back when I was tending bar, however, the beer/alcohol ratio was 3.6%.  There were no microbrews being sold at that time.  Bud, budlite, Miller, Millerlite, Coors, Coorlite, were what you got on tap.  Bottled beer would be things such as St. Pauli's Girl. (I always loved their labels! :)), Becks, Pilsner entered the scene there after a while, and Guiness. Sometimes there would be a Lowenbrau, but you would have to be reaching to carry that.

    Most pub pump beers hover around 5% ....bitters and mild beers 3.5 + .....8% is strong...Special Brew is 9% as is Tenents Extra.....The 19 % are sold in small third pint bottles and are far more expensive...
     They they taste revolting and are not sold cold either....:(

    Tenents Extra?  That doesn't sound familiar.  

    On top of not being served cold, it makes me think of bad apple juice that had been fermenting under a kitchen sink.
    My tastebuds are revolting by the thought of it. 
    ICK!!

    It is my understanding the popular belief "Canadian beer" is stronger than "American beer" is a bit of a myth.

    Of course, beer strength varies greatly by brand and style. But when comparing Canadian mass market lagers (e.g. Molson) with American mass market lagers (e.g. Budweiser), it turns out their alcohol content is about the same (4.5% to 5% ABV).

    The reason for the perceived difference is American beer alcohol content used to be specified in Alcohol by Weight (ABW), while Canadian beer was specified in Alcohol by Volume (ABV).  The conversion factor between the two is ABV = 1.25 x ABW  (or ABW = 0.8 x ABV). Hence, a "4% American beer" and a "5% Canadian beer) actually had the same alcohol content. 

    Now beer is pretty much universally measured in ABV, so cheap American and cheap Canadian beers have the same numbers on the cans/bottles.

    The bar my wife goes to sells all standard beers, draft, bottled or canned for $1.25. I don't go there as I don't really know her friends. Premium or foreign beer costs more.

    For traditional-style pubs, about £3.50 for a pint of real ale (more like £3 for pubs that have a microbrewery on the premises, or are owned by one) maybe nearer £4 for English lagers and stronger real ales, about £4.50 or more for continental lagers. You might need to add 50 pence for the chain bars like Revolution de Cuba, or the hipsterish ones that specialise in cocktails.

    I work in a spa with a grocery store with a BAR in it right across the parking lot.  

    You can buy the beer at the store or sit at the bar and drink away till you feel good enough not to care how much you are spending on groceries, I imagine.  LOL

    I have no idea what a drink costs. I don't buy them ever.  I am too busy saving up for my Sweet Science monthly pills for $180 per month.  Truly all I need.  

    No beer.  Beer makes you fart and gives you bad breath.  

    My stuff doesn't.
