World's cheapest pint revealed - if you don't mind the trip

Going out for drinks can often mean a sizeable bill at the end but it turns out there are some very cheap places where you can get a tipple.

Researchers from shipping group Pack and Send UK have found the cheapest place in the world to buy a pint and it can be all yours, if you don't mind a quick 14-hour trip to Hanoi in Vietnam.

The capital city has the cheapest average cost per pint at 75p, reports The Manchester Evening News .

Coming out most expensive is Doha in Qatar, where the average price of a cold pint is a staggering £11. So if you're planning on a weekend bender in Doha, you might want to consider taking out a new mortgage - you'll need it.

Prague is the cheapest European city on the list, where the average cost for a pint is a very reasonable £1.21.

Also featuring in the top ten cheapest spots for a pint is Budapest, where you'll pay around £1.50 for a beer.

The most expensive European city on the list is Oslo, Norway, where a pint will set you back £8 on average. Reykjavik in Iceland follows closely behind, where a pint of the good stuff costs an average of £7.

The steep prices in these two countries is due to state monopolies on alcohol rates - something which was introduced back in the twentieth century to combat alcoholism.a
