If you’re planning a trip to Dubai you’d be interested to know that you’ll likely be forking out a staggering $15.10 for a beer on average – it is the most expensive place in the world to buy beer.
The second most expensive place is Doha in Qatar where a beer will cost $14.96.
Reykjavik in Iceland is also expensive for beer drinkers, setting you back $14.01 for a drink.
In Australia, Sydney is pretty high on the list with a beer costing $7.87 on average but it isn’t as bad as our mates across the ditch in Auckland where a beer will cost $8.13.
The findings were revealed by comparison website Finder.com.au recently after examining 177 cities around the globe.
Thankfully there are some places in the world where you can still get a beer for under $5 including Caracas, Venezuela where a beer will cost just $0.92. In Tashkent, Uzbekistan a beer costs just $1.04.
The relatively high cost of beer in Australia doesn’t seem to deter us, the researchers found that Australians managed to down around 1.7 billion litres of beer a year – that equates to 670 Olympic sized swimming pools.
