20 Most Expensive Countries To Buy Alcohol


Global Rank #3 Iceland

India is 68% cheaper

Tap water is safe to drink in Iceland but of course owing to the temperature of the place it would most probably be in solid state therefore, people turn to alcohol. The drinking age in Iceland is 20 for all alcoholic beverages.

People who land in Iceland by air should note (in bold letters) that there is a duty-free store for arriving passengers (only) where they can buy cheap alcohol – cheap for Icelandic standards. To find the store just follow the Icelanders because no native in their right mind would land in the country and pass by the store saying ‘Ah, look at those fine bottles.’ They would have one in their hand.

Global Rank #4 Ireland

India is 62% cheaper

Pints of Guinness start at €3.60 per pint, can get as high as €7.50 in Dublin, and does not become less expensive until you reach Northern Ireland. Nearly all the pubs in Ireland are 'free houses', i.e. they can sell drink from any brewery and are not tied to one brewery. You can get the same brands of drink in all pubs in Ireland across the country. Pubs and nightclubs in Ireland close at a variable time from 11:30pm to 3:30am. The last call for the night is indicated by turning on all the lights or by ringing the bell.
