£10 for two cans of coke at the airport in Bodrum Turkey
£11 for a shot of whiskey 
It was in a club in Hong Kong in LKF, I think it was on the 44th floor of a hotel or something. I was meeting some friends who had gone upstairs where there was a bouncer stopping people going up unless you had a drink. I asked for the cheapest drink on the menu and that was it apparently!
One of the guys had paid for a table which cost about £500, and bought a ton of champagne and other drinks, I didn't stay long as it was heaving but IIRC the final bill was around £2k... It seemed everyone there was loaded other than me

Nine pounds for 4 shots of JD and what must be a splash of cola is cheap.
most ridiculous markup has to be in clubs...
memorable night in a london club, went to pay the table tab which was eye wattering (60 quid grey goose bottles marked upto 300 quid, 750 champagne magnums etc) but the bit I really objected to was........
8 cans of redbull £50 :O

£5 for a can of larger in a blues club up sheffield in ~'91 after the Ponds Forge rave night debacle, I put my hand out for change and the guy looked at me as if I urinated on his leg.... 'change' I asked.....'no, that is correct' I went back 1/2 hour later and got one for £2 ... I guess they didnt do small change!!

Silly money in bars in London. In some bar behind M&S on Oxford Street, I think it was called Moose or something, I spent the thick end of a tenner on an awful Long Island Iced Tea. It's never a good sign when you have to tell the barman how to make it.

I don't even flinch now at a fiver a beer in London but did get a bit narked at having to pay 9 quid for a single Jack & coke at Plateau in Canary Wharf. It's not exactly s****y (although it desperately wants to be!).
