I take it your not complaining about that?
Probably £5 for a wkd in a ****ty club in Newcastle upon Tyne. Most I paid for a pint there was maybe £4 at a more upmarket place.
Down in Stafford average is about £2.30 for various pints, local big club does 99p every drink on Thursdays and £1.50 nearly everything on Tuesdays (Student Night). SU bar does £1 spirits on Fridays.
I am not looking forward to going more expensive places since this is what im used to

Yea thats kinda normal for me
Molly Gwynns I presume? Pretty touristy in my opinion as a lot of expats go to them. As to the prices, well this evening it was around £15 for a mojito and £25 for a glass of house wine from one of the bars I've just got back from.
What's wrong with Moscow though... the night-life is the best I've ever seen...

£10 for a pint of beer, address hotel Dubai
£10 bottle of Magners pretty much everywhere
£7-8 bottle of beer most places
If you guys think drinking in the UK is expensive come to the middle east!
Oh yeah and 12 euro for a pint in a crappy restaurant in Paris.

Earlier in the week I paid $10.50 for a small bottle of Abita Amber in New Orleans airport. Oh and a $2 tip on top so the damn thing cost me $12.50. It's about $3 in the local. Gutted.
A few years ago in some club in Windsor I was out celebrating and ordered a bottle of champagne. The bill was over £200. Again, gutted.
The Merchant Hotel in Belfast claimed to sell the worlds most expensive cocktail. A few friends and I were sitting in the bar after a session in the city and after being fed poitin cocktails I was almost convinced to go for the big one on my brand new credit card. I'm glad I didn't. £750 for a cocktail. Seven hundred and fifty quid.

I hope you took a messy dump and didn't flush whilst you were there!
They can usually charge whatever as most people will pay up when drunk.
Despite being in London, I dont think I've been that badly shafted.
If you go to a fancy place then its going to be pricey, its as simple as that. You can't really be surprised about it

Imagine the disappointment when you discovered it wasn't even the most expensive cocktail in the UK although at least with that one you do get a diamond engagement ring to take away as well as the knowledge that you've paid an extortionate amount for the drink. However I don't know when you were drinking so it could have been at number 1 I suppose at some time, that hotel does make the list of top 10 most expensive cocktails though.
Over here... probably about £8-£10
Ibiza - £15 every time I wanted a drink in a club

In the UK - Marriott is £4.20 a pint round here (up north).
However abroad, £9 a pint in Tignes at pretty much 1:1 exchange rate a few years back. The one saving grace was for every pint you got buy one get one free + 2 shots + 2 shots free as a strange result of the bogof offer. The price per pint is still expensive tho
Also, Marriott in Florida, £32 for two rum and something blue cocktails - delivered to the lounger though, tip included. It was expensive for what it was. Must have spent over £200 at least during the entire trip. Lazyness + alcohol on demand = wallet unfriendliness.

Other than that, $46 for 3 shots of vodka at planet Hollywood in Orlando. I have to say that it was the strongest vodka ive ever drank, never found out what brand it was though.

Remember (barely) racking up a huge bill at Gaucho's in London, the cocktails were all around £13-£15 but very nice at the same time. Before that was the ice bar, but you're paying for the novelty I guess.
