NextImg:Sky-high beer price leaves drinkers shocked: ‘Who can afford this?’

The price of a single pint of beer at a pub in a Sydney tourist hub has left Australians gobsmacked.

Taking to Reddit on Monday, a consumer shared a photo of the beer (brewer unknown) and its accompanying $17.80 (Australian) [$11.42 USD] price tag on the EFTPOS console at the Harbour View Hotel in The Rocks.

“$20 pints [$17 USD] are just around the corner,” he captioned the photo.

The price included a 15 percent surcharge, he added, without which the beverage would’ve cost $15.13. [$9.71 USD].

The price, one Reddit user declared, was “tough to swallow” – a sentiment which others agreed with.

“Who can afford this? This is partly what’s ruined the night-life in the city,” one wrote.

“Stopped drinking two years ago. I honestly don’t know how people can afford to go out drinking on a regular occurrence,” another commented.

“I paid $40 [$25.67 USD] for 2 pints the other day (of bloody Peroni). I almost had a heart attack when the notification popped up, and it honestly killed the buzz for the rest of the evening. Absolutely insanity,” a third said.
