I've always been told booze (lets keep it to simple beer here) in HK is pretty expensive.
Went out for a cheeky beer at lunch today (in the British Isles) and had a bottle of beer, which came to ?2.80 (HK$43) and this wasn't some fancy wine bar but a run of the mill pub.
I've been told beer in HK can vary from anything to HK$25 to HK$70 (so at the top end ?4.54) with a mean price at HK$46 (?3).
So from this, I'm thinking while its a bit pricey compared to the UK, its not TOO bad and there are more expensive places to have a drink (like most Scandinavian countries).
Any views?
