Taking into account...An addendum - regarding beer!<br /><br />Taking into account that the Imperial pint is 20 ounces and the US pint is 16 ounces, the price of draught beer in the UK is comparable to that in the US - even a couple of percentage points better maybe. From what I have seen in each both places, it works out at about $0.24 to $0.28 per ounce. <br /><br />As far as buying bottled beer (and cans - or 'tinnies', if you like) in the supermarkets - or even in the gas stations and convenience stores here in the US - the price per ounce is in the range of $0.07 per ounce (US) to $0.11 per ounce (UK). <br /><br />Clearly a better bargain than traipsing off to the 'local' - and even better yet if live in the US. A 12-pack of 12 oz (355 ml) bottles of Budweiser cost $9.99 (GBP 6.57) and the same quantity of other universally recognized brands came in at $11.99 (GBP 7.89). I saw single cans (25 ounces) of Fosters at $0.08 per ounce in my local supermarket yesterday. The 4-packs commonly sold in the UK were usually priced at $0.11 per ounce and Becks, Carlsberg, or Stella Artois were usually 10% more expensive. <br /><br />My favorite, at 5.9% is Milwaukee's Best Ice, a crisp, ice-brewed, 'lager-style' beer that costs a whopping $10.99 for a 24-pack of 12 ounce cans - that's less than $0.04 per ounce, brother!
