      Right? I’m Canadian and That’s like $12 a beer, that’s absurd. Here it’s like $6 and I thought that was high

        I’m Finnish and we’re definitely not as wealthy as Norway, and the 7€ is an average, and I’d say skewed for some reason. I live in one of the main cities in Finland, not a large one, but large for a Finnish one. It’s very common to have to pay 8,5€ for a 0.33l (11,15floz) basic lager in the restaurants, cafes and bars that are in the center. It’s disgusting.

        There are a few cheaper places, but any non-sleazy place basically.

            Idk, probably just sales unaffected by raising prices; the bars at the center are full on the weekends no matter what. We love our alcohol.

            Also high taxes on alcohol

      A pint costs about that in Australia too, but everyone still drinks. Classic tax upon the poor.
