      If Murphy’s or Beamish were more widely available where I live I’d happily never drink Guinness again.

      Took 10 years to go from €4 to €5 and 3.5 to go from €5 to €6.

      Lovely.

      There was a massive increase of cost of materials, electricity, transport etc. since 2019. Some of that has come down, some hasn’t.

      4% inflation over 10 years is around 150% growth.

      It looks parabolic because the y axis only goes from 4 to 6. If there was a 10c increase and the y axis went from 4 to 4.10, it would look the same.

      The real story here is that incomes have not matched inflation.

      Good thing wages have risen in line with this… right right… oh wait that was rent.

      Is this worse than general inflation? Whats the rise in average earnings over the last decade?

      Based on an article in Limerick Live, since 1997, the stout to wage ratio peaked in 2007 when drinkers were able to buy 196 pints with the average weekly salary. That is 32 extra pints per week than 2024 (based on the average weekly salary of €922) when you could buy 164 pints. That was at an average cost per pint of €5.62 so it has gotten slightly better since then. €6.08 per pint and the average salary per week is €1,015.43 (CSO) Q2 2025. However the salaries are based on the mean rather than median (€699.28) so the numbers are skewed by higher earners. The median salary today can buy approx 115 pints per week.

      Arrest all involved. Get the army in. Shut down the roads and all libraries.

      You’d swear Diageo are the only producers of alcohol in world.

      The brand loyalty is fucking madness.

      Cost of doing business keeps going up, mandatory pensions a good example, that cost hits the tax payer twice, funding it and employers putting prices up.

      🤔🤔🤔 this explains the increase of brewing videos on tiktok…

      I wonder what shed Guinness would taste like…

      Leaving outgoings aside, as this will differ for everyone, the average weekly wage in 2012 was €36,079 which is around €17.35 per hour. The same average hourly rate in 2025 is €25.23.

      A pint in 2012 was around €4.00. A pint today is around €6.08.

      That means, as a percentage of average hourly wages, a pint cost 23% in 2012 and 24% in 2025.

      Breaking the €5 barrier was big psychologically (change from a note for one pint), now they won’t stop until we get close to €10.

      Ngl, as someone who doesn’t drink, I couldn’t give a toss, alcohol is bad for society and the more people cut back on it the better.

    33. bathtubsplashes on

      This graph is indicating a 52% increase in a price of a pint between Jan 2012 and Jan 2024

      Minimum wage in 2012 was 8.65 an hour. It was 12.70 in 2024

      That’s a 47% increase in the same time span

      It’s hardly groundbreaking stuff, but as usual I’ll be pilloried for bringing Maths to an Emotions fight

      The real issue is how much people are paying in rent, this is just a distraction 

    34. Aphroditesent on

      At what price would you not pay? I think we are awful consumers in Ireland for value as we have a real aversion to admitting anything is expensive or looking like we are ‘stingy’ by saying ‘Im not paying that’. I think no matter the price of a pint people will still pay it. Until we stop the prices will continue to rise.

      I still mentally think to myself that I can do an evening in the pub on 4 pints for €20 even though it hasn’t been the case for about 10 years where I live.

    38. SeparateCream4265 on

      Weatherspoons 2:50 a pint €10 4 pints 🍻 not saying it’s great but if yer that desperate

    40. VonGov on

      I remember paying €5.50 for a pint in 2007, so I don’t know how these things work.

    41. wascallywabbit666 on

      Now compare it to average salaries over the same time period. I think you’ll find a pretty close correlation.
