Something like 8 euros for a G&T in Berlin. It was nice though!

I got charged the equivalent of £7 for a pint of Leffe in a golf club in Le Touque way back in 1996 (my then future brother in law's stag weekend).
Have you forgotten where you are?
This is one that really stands out for me. I hate it when venues do this with cans. Cans. ********.

£11 for a bottle of Becks and a Vodka/Coke - City Inn, Westminster.
Bottle of Dom for £150
Not as bad as the guys that came in to Paper one time and bought a dozen magnums of Crystal at at £800 a pop and just started handing them out to all the other tables around them.
Fancy a magnum? Sure why not
Got very drunk that night.

I paid about £8.50 for a mojito in Cardiff bay... It was a one off and never again!!!
For beer it must have been close to about £8 for a pint of peroni

£20 for 4 pints of guiness in Moscow back in 2000, mafia run bar ( arnt they all ) so they put the price up as soon as they knew we were english.
You've just reminded me - Gin and tonic, pint of Grolsch, packet of crisps, £14 Clissold Arms in Muswell Hill. £14. Without the crisps it would have cost ten. They were charging four quid for 'organic' root vegetable crisps.
£100 for a bottle of Champagne a couple of weeks ago ( was only Veuve too)
£100, that's disgusting for Veuve.
That doesn't sound that unreasonable! Quadruple? Are you nuts? You might as well have brought along a can of lighter fuel and drunk that.

Once got billed £23 for two pints of lager and a bowl of chips. Chips were cold as well.
Once got billed £47 for three single vodka and tonics.

That's cheap nowadays really, when I've been over and went to the Irish bar near my Dad's apartment it was £5.50 a pint of Guinness and that was one of the cheaper but nice Irish bars out of the way from the main tourist and business areas.
Worth the £6+ or so they wanted in the bar that you got served by hot women in tartan mini skirts, knee high socks and high heels... That's about the only bit of Moscow I enjoy.

Peroni on tap is always expensive imo.
Most expensive I've bought? Large brandy in st Davids hotel bar, was over £100
Remy Martin Louis xiii champagne cognac. Was very nice.

Living in London has upped what I'd consider the "normal" price for a pint so now I barely flinch at £4-5 for a pint, I usually just hand over the cash and if I get any money back consider it a bonus. Although having said that I was slightly shocked at paying £4 for a small glass of beer in Gilgamesh last weekend - if it was a bottle I wouldn't have been bothered but for a small glass... It does have benefits though, whenever I go home I buy a round and am always delighted when I inevitably receive change.
I can't compete with many of the prices in here, I think £10 is the most I've paid for any drink in a bar that wasn't a bottle of wine and that was a reasonable cocktail.
