OP, you idea for a thread is much too complicated to be taken seriously!
Not that anything's every taken seriously here, for starters.

Ireland's cheapest drink?

Tap water! - and you can have as much as you like

Even if it tastes disgusting, it's still free!

A lot of alcohol is disgusting and you'd pay a small fortune for it :P

dlofnep

You make a good point.

MarcusTheCarcus

Actually, the tesco Cider tastes exactly like Stonehouse-cheap and horrific, but far far far from undrinkable

I do agree with you though! When I'm in Cork, I drink bottled water. The tap water is contaminated with sewage and chemicals!

Tesco had 12% wine 750ml for €4, that's 22.5 ml for a euro and it tasted fine.

Where can one get hollandia still? Not seen that stuff in ages, not noticed it in Tescos, Dunnes, Centras etc.. €1 a can sounds quite good so I'd be interested to know if its still going

Couldn't be arsed calculating but Frosty Jacks cider. 7.5% in a 3ltr bottle for €3.75. Sure it might taste like Quasimodo's sock juice but when you on a college budget theres nothing better.

tolosenc

I think you've got the wrong idea about alcohol, OP. And yet we wonder why our country has a bad name...

The Walsho

I think I have the answer. For the next week Lidl are doing some German Pils (Perlenbacher) 4.9% at €4.99 for 6 x 500ml bottles.

So that's 4.9%, 83c a bottle (always nice than a can). Alcohol per Euro: 29.5ml

And it's probably decent.

You're welcome.

lidl ftw! dont advise buying vodka from there though,putinoff ends in messy messy nights

1) Get in car
2) Drive to Enniskillen/Newry/Other border towns
3) Fill your fridge.

My house looks like an off licence at the minute, cheap and cheerful.

Are you sure?

Pygmalion

The frostie jacks mentioned without the numbers:

60ml/euro is appears
3000ml (3 litres), 7.5% alcohol = 225ml ethanol / 3.75 = 60ml.

Just posting how I worked it out in case I made some stupid mistake, seems a bit hard to believe it's twice as good value for getting pissed. (But I'm sure the taste makes up for that)

Do you live in a tiny, crap village that's made up of farms, sewage water and unpasturised milk?

Personally I only drink booze that has been filtered through the purest eh.... diamond studded eh... filters and then funneled through a high-grade stainless steel funnel into a bottle of pure gold and rubies and then sold in a teak box lined with velvet with a certificate of authenticity so this thread doesn't really hold any relevance for me.

But still..... Jaysus 1 euro a can for Hollandia. That's savage value altogether!

MarcusTheCarcus

Okay, i sense a new quest... Where can I get me some frosty jacks? I mean really.... Anyone with information please tell....
