The cost of soft drinks in a pub?

I know it,s crazy is,nt it that pump stuff (post mix) costs 20p a pint to make and it s full of crap! Wish you could get cranberry or blueberry juice instead then if you want splash a little vodka in too! pubs just do not keep up to public trends do they? But at the end of the day the pub managers and landlords are just tax collectors for yet another crap Labour party so have to cover lots of expenses and make a wage too if they can. The government will only be happy when we don,t go to the pub, drive a big car or breathe come to think of it! What a ramble should have gone to the pub!!!!

The high price of soft drinks from a bar is because the liquor license says that a everything that comes from the bar has to be in a certain price range, no lower than the lowest priced liquor drink. I was going to buy a bar once and found that one out. In other words, if I am selling beer at $3 dollars a bottle, shots of liquor at $4:50 and mixed drinks at $5:75, and you walk in and want a cola, I can not charge you anything under $2 for the soft drink, that is the law

The taverns and bars are in business to sell drinks. The price is determined by what the market will bear. If you will pay two pounds for a glass of water, they will charge you two pounds. If you refuse to pay the extra amount, they will have to lower the prices.

If you ran a grocery store and could charge extra for disposable diapers, you would, right?

Yeah I'm in Canada as well and yes sometimes we get shafted for simple non-alcoholic beverages here as well like at the bars 2 dollars for a bottle of water or 2.50 for a glass of pop thats if you are alone if your in a group and mentioon your the designated driver forthe group they will usually give you free beverages like pop.

Don't know about in the UK but here in Canada most pubs will comp you soft drinks if you tell them you're the designated driver. (Doesn't work if you're by yourself)
