How much was your first pint?

[upsidedown]

Can't remember how much beer was, but i remember going to get my dad 20 Gold Leaf from the vending machine in the chip shop and the change was attached to the packet !!

I think that when I first started buying my own beer the price was 20p per pint.

My first pack of fags was 2 shillings, from a vending machine. I didn't smoke any of them.

6 pints of Double Diamond for a £1

As the last time I got chucked out for being under age I was 22, so buying in a pub was not something I could do, (used to get my younger, smaller, brother to buy the beer) but seem to remeber a pint we 32p, so 3 for a quid down at the Rose and Pose in Greenwich

IIRC the cheapest pint I could legally get was about £1.60

Just googled; I could of got a pint of bitter for £1:32 I was ripped off

88p for a pint of Green King IPA, my how things (and my taste) has changed.

Cheapest legal pint I ever bought was £1.39. Those were the days. I used to go out for a night with a tenner in my wallet. In Belfast the average pint is about £3.30 now so you can only just get 2 pints for a tenner.

There's a pub near me that occasionally sells green king IPA for 99p, which is nice

20p a pint for Guinness as North Country Bitter or Hull Breweries was disgusting even for an under age drinker. Legless for £1.00 Then it went up to 21p and had to borrow 5p for a good night out.
Me and mates said we would give up drinking when it went up to 50p a pint. Never did.

I remember paying the princely sum of 25p for a pint of Ben Truman in a pub in Bloomsbury called the Captain Corum. It was before the real ale campaign got going.

Why dont you just come on out with it and ask everybody how old they are ?

£1.10 (punts) for a pint of Smithwicks. Would have been about '96 or '97. Don't drink anymore but was shocked to discover a pint of Smithwicks now costs just over 6 Euro. Suddenly pleased I don't drink anymore as I would be penniless if I still consumed as much as I did when I was younger.

€6 what a rip off. I've not had a pint of Smithwicks for a while but IIRC it was one of the cheaper pints in rip off Dublin. When I left Dublin in 2005 a pint of lager in rip off Cafe en Seine was that price
