      15 for a gin and tonic.

      For a society that bases the majority of it’s socialising around drinking that’s wild.

          I remember when you could get a basic house spirit and mixer for $5. I do not look or feel old enough to say that.

          Edit: Though until at least up to the big P you could still get a can of shit beer for $5

          They were 600 yen at another place but then on the bill it said 330 yen! So someone in the group got three Aperol spritzes for 10 bucks, which is half the price of one here
