Since the minimum unit pricing for alcohol was introduced on the 4th of Jan, the country has been in mourning for ye olde cheap cans.
Tuborg. Prazsky. Dutch. Always in our thoughts, never forgotten.
Spending €48 for a slab of cans after being told for the guts of a decade that a €3 coffee will prevent us from ever getting a mortgage simply feels wrong.
We've spent the last week or so in shock and disbelief - is this really how buying a few tins in Ireland is going to be from now on?
Luckily,
Sam's Gala in Dunmanway, Cork have come up with the solution to all our woes.
