While stocks last....£1.38 a pint

Beer on wine, feel fine. Wine on beer, feel queer.

Whichever order you imbibe them in, it is cheap to drink alcoholic drinks in Parliament's bars. No news in that statement but the House of Commons Commission has just published figures detailing the number of litres of alcohol consumed over the 11 months from April 2006-February 2007.

In the bars and restaurants, 34,377 litres of beers and ciders were consumed at a cost of £52,260. I'm assuming the 'cost of consumption' is the price the punters pay for it, which works out at around £1.52 a litre and around £1.38 a pint...which is'nae bad value at all.
