Expensive in comparison to what? In comparison to UK currently everything seems expensive cos of the exchange rate. When I arrived everything here seemed really cheap.............cos of the exchange rate.

And you only need about $10 to be over the drink drive limit.

If you want to compare to UK here is what is what it has cost me today. I have just bought in UK a litre bottle of Smirnoff vodka for £13.00 which at exchange rate is $20.22 and 3 bottles of decent aussie wine for £10.00 - $15.63.

Litre bottle of Smirnoff in Dan Murphy's is currently $45. Anywhere else local to me is between $51 and $55.

Too many options on wine

Predictable.

....but accurate

Quiet night in is it ?

Australia is not expensive more than the UK is too cheap.

US and Uk are much cheaper than many countries. Goes to show the differrnce in economies though.

Booze here is shocking. We were in Margaret River last week and went for dinner in Must bar and restaurant the sister of the one in Perth. We had two share plates, so the food was too expensive - by Perth standards. But the booze! Me and the wife had a cocktail each. Nothing fancy just a martini, then a glass of red each then i had a vodka after the meal. Total cost for the bar bill = $103. Nearly fell off the chair.

I am always amazed at the cost of booze here. My local, which is just a everyday pub charges nearly $10 a pint. Forget the exchange rates that is a rip off any way you look at it.

Cheap piss? Cask (box) wines. Buy them on offer at $20 for 2 x 5 litres. Thats cheaper than the UK.

Or not. I just go by the numbers.

Can recommend Stanleys Columbard Chardonnay. Best one I've come across!

You must have been in Morrison's then for the Smirnoff? Snap!! I do find spirits cheaper here but wine seems to be dearer than Australia for the decentish stuff.

Drinking out here last weekend was MEGA, £4.50 for a glass of wine in the local - that's as much as a bottle from the supermarket costs.

We just drove back from a drive upto Lancelin, so many dead roo's on the side of the road. But even more broken and empty beer bottles all over the shoulder of the road
Just another head scratcher for us has to how people want to drink and drive and still have the desire to just throw it out the window for anything to get hurt on it, let alone the cost issues?
We just drove past a thirsty camel about 60clicks up the wanneroo road in the middle of know where...why?
And the prices judging by the billboards cost even more

Good question why put alchol bars in the middle of nowhere. Time and a place for a drink. Cost, what cost is cheap booze doing to our health, livers and social responsibility.
