Worldwide, £9 separates the most expensive average pint of beer from the cheapest, according to a new analysis.
The UK finds itself 11th most expensive on the list of 155 countries – at £5.50 nationwide and £6.83 in London.
Finder has compiled data from cost-of-living sites Expatistan and Numbeo (accurate as of February this year), using an average from both sites to find its figures.
It was able to list countries worldwide by an important indicator – the price of their average pint of beer.
