Alcohol Prices Skyrocket 57% in 20 Years!
Have you noticed a spike in the price of your alcoholic beverages?
The fact is that there’s been a 57% spike in the price of alcoholic beverages since 2003.
What?!? That’s crazy!
So, why are shelling out more cash than ever for our alcoholic drinks? Barley farmers, most brewers and distillers and even distributors aren’t causing the over 50% markup…..it’s the bar owners jacking up booze prices by up to 300 or even 400%!
That insane markup means a drink that might cost $2.50 to make costs over $10 now!
One server says that the price hike is okay because you are really just paying for the experience of that drink in the place you are consuming it.
I guess it’s just the cost of going out and the cost of ambiance just keeps going up in price. Perhaps we go back to pre-gaming before we go out?
