Sometimes there are price comparison lists in newspapers but usually they only have several not-so-interesting prices and also seem limited to selected capitals, almost if those making the price comparison wanted to make some point (here it's cheap/expensive) that they thought of before making the 'comparison'.
Actually, only one price is of importance to a single not-anymore-so-young male. The price of beer.
In Helsinki, in a pub, 0,4 liters of most common kind of beer (alc.
4.5) costs about 5 euros. In rest of Finland, usually about 4,20 euros for the same amount.
So for a liter, in a pub, one has to pay something like 12 euros and
50 cents in Helsinki and about 10.50 eunuchs in rest of the country.
Of course some places are more expensive and some cheaper but that is about what one can expect to pay when going to an average pub or night club.
A 1/3 liter bottle in pub cost about 4 € (alc. 5.2) in most of the country. So for a liter, one has to pay 12 eunuchs for alc. 5.2 beer bought in bottles.
And in a shop or a supermarket, most common price for most common kind of beer (lager) seems to be 1.23 euros for a 1/3 liter of (alc. 4.5) beer.
For a liter of beer bought from a shop or a supermarket, that would be
3.69 €.
In order to find a more varied (globally) response I also crossposted this to soc.men, (in addition to europa.union) figuring, that the price of beer in different places would be of an universal interest (to men). Prices in dollars as well euros are easy for anyone from elsewhere to convert without a calculator, less known currencies maybe would better be converted to either dollars or euros. Then I figured, most women like beer too so I also crossposted this to soc.women. Quickly glancing through the subjectlines in soc.women, I want to point out that I only put soc.men first because I am male myself, not because I somehow or in any way at all preferred men or were in anyway against equality and all that stuff. I decided to leave out alt.wankers though that probably would best have described me ;)
Naturally, a place to crosspost this to, too, was alt.beer
So I politely want to ask You, for price comparison purposes (and fun) what does beer cost in Your city or town ? (Responses to the net, please, not to e-mail which I don't read)
Thank You.
