If you're looking to save money on a night out, you might need to head overseas after a new study has found the cheapest places to grab a drink in Europe.
Because while we might be resigned to paying £5 a pint or £20 for a bottle of house wine on a night out, it costs less than a quarter of that in some remarkably nearby countries.
In fact, figures from Ocean Finance show in some cities a pint will cost you just £1, in others a bottle of wine will set you back no more than £4.
And that means you can grab a quick city break, including flights, hotels, food, drink, travel when you get there and attractions for £185.50 a person.
Taking a look at the most affordable places to grab a beer, Ocean Finance found the Czech capital of Prague to be your best bet.
Picking up a pint there sets people back just £1 on average, with house wines costing £5 a bottle and coffee £2.
When it comes to wine the cheapest place to head to is Budapest, where a bottle costs just £4 on average and beers and coffee both £2 .
Lisbon is also cheap for beer, with people visiting the Portuguese city paying £2 for a pint and £6 for a bottle of wine.
Berlin was second cheapest for wine - where a bottle costs just £5 - and also one of the cheapest places to get a beer at an average of £3 a pint.
Bottom of the pile for costs, at least outside the UK, was Paris - where pints cost £6 on average and house wine £8.
When it comes to food, Budapest wins again at £12 for breakfast, lunch and dinner - a little ahead of Prague (£16) and Athens (£19).
Adding it all up, Ocean Finance worked out the best places to head this winter if you need a short break and don't want to pay through the nose.
Once flight prices, public transport, the cost of attraction and hotels were added in Lisbon took top spot for the best-value winter getaway.
With return flights for less than £50, hotels at £135 a night on top of cheap food and drink, a two-day break there this winter costs just £185.50 based on two people sharing.
Budapest was just 50p more expensive each at £186, thanks to cheaper food but slightly costlier flights, followed by Prague (£189.50).
At the opposite end of the scale are Amsterdam and Paris - which despite being just a train ride away, will set you back more than £500 even if you plan a cost-cutting itinerary.
