In Nordics it is mainly taxation that brings the price up, and also the state controlled monopoly with alcohol. I don't think wages are that much higher, except Norway.

Just to say it, but in most of the EU a beer in a shop will cost about as much as in Russia. Scandinavia is more expensive due to taxes, but 1.6EUR is fairly normal for a liter.

Slava Ukraini!

That said, I really hope you will get rid of your store brand hitler soon, for your own sake as well

I loved drinking in Czechia. Being from America I'm used to tipping. I remember a beer with a nice tip was one coin thanks to your currency. There's something about buying a big handled mug of beer with one big coin smacked on the bar that feel fucking medieval.

I haven't seen any good beer here cheaper than ~3 euro in the last few years tbh. I'm afraid we're no longer the famous European cheap booze county...

It's for draught beer, not bottled or canned

Correct.

In Russia it's less than $1 per average 0,5 beer but with a restaurant's mark-up it's $1-3 even if they are the same (like they bring the same bottle sometimes), so the graph checks out I guess. Although, these mentioned prices are even more pointless if you consider how they relate to the average income in said countries.

I could buy a single can of Jupiler at a grocery store for about 80cents in Amsterdam 7 years ago. Noy sure what the price is now, but that's cheaper than an individual soda at an American grocery store

In Romania(at least at the store nearest to me), 0.5 l beer is about 0.7€

And this is the price in a big city restaurant. Go to any small town establishment and it will be much cheaper.

Not all countries have a minimum wage

Carapils is love. It's the best beer for festivals <3

You guys always mess with nice map layouts. Can't you see that the legend also needs space? Maybe move that tiny island of yours a bit to make space for more important stuff?

Hmm...

Taxation. They don't want people to drink a lot.

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
