I was just thinking exactly the same thing, and sticking to the thread, mine was the Langdon, about 1/5 if my memory serves me right |  |

Like most Albright best bitter , all of us under age in the back room of the Crown in Birchgrove , it had to be around then 20p a pint ( which since acquiring taste buds , was 20 p too much) This in 1971 and Griff was the landlord who must have had friends in high places because we often got caught in the back room by the Local bobby m Dick the +++ | |

Seriously guys. I know it's a choice but having a drink was always affordable. But £5.80 in a local boozer is just staggering .One of the reasons we are thinking of selling up in a couple of years and heading off or the land of the sun | | | |

I can’t remember what it was, but it was a pub on Brynhfryd cross - can’t recall the name of the pub but it was1973 , and it was either 17 or 19p
There were many good things about the 70s, but beer wasn’t one of them | | | |

Can not remember but the taste put me off alcohol for life meaning i am tee total and able to keep more healthy, whilst not having to spend a lot of money to be ill next day and being able to see a lot of the world instead of wasting money on that shizer, shame people can not get away from there issues and relax and enjoy themselves without having that stuff inside them. | | | |

If you drink reasonably sensibly it has proven to be of benefit. You look at the mortality rate in the Mediterranean countries compared to the UK and especially parts of Wales. If you have a problem with alcohol you're probably right.
I like a good beer and a nice glass of red. Don't touch spirits and go no where near drugs or cigarettes. Eat a lot of fish, vegetables, salads..very little red meat and play tennis four times a week. Body allowing . | | | |

The whole uk thing with prices is staggering, I just can’t see how someone on even 30k a year with a family, mortgage can survive. |  |

I go to the station before most games and it's 3.20 but I only ever have 1-2 anyway. A can of coke is £1 and my son usually has 2 so less than a tenner.
Your point is very valid too, when we used to meet don the Sandfields myself and my mates would be out all day so it was easily 12-15 pints, some drank more than others but it wasn't 2 quid a pint back then so with food and a taxi home we'd spend around 50 quid. At todays prices, even in the station 15 pints is that 50 quid with food and taxi on top probably putting it around 70 quid, at 5.80 per pints it's over 80 quid just for beer.
To the best of my recollection my first pint was 1984, White Rose, Mumbles and Lager was 76p but it may have been 67p! I was happily drunk and a bag of chips on the way home for under a fiver  | | | |

Nothing wrong with alcohol in moderation, you can't beat a good red whilst enjoying a nice meal at a tidy restaurant | |

I just don't like wine, I'd rather have a good filter coffee with my meal. | | | |

Honestly Keith it's got to the stage and I'm in my very early sixties..you're getting a absolutely stuffed for everything. Utilities, mortgage rent etc etc
We were in the Costa Colida during October. Wonderful weather, cheap bars and good restaurants . Especially if you stayed away from the tourista places. Quite often two drinks would cost us 3 to 4 euro. Groceries so much cheaper. | | | |

12 to 15 pints that's premier league mate. The most pints I ever did was probably 12. Not proud and definitely wouldn't do it now. Well if I did you wouldn't see me for the rest of the week.
I like a glass but know my limit and hate hangovers so stop when I hit the limit. We are all responsible for our health and well being. No problem with having fun but you need to balance it. | | | |

We sit on the same side of the Church mate. Little things make life so much fun. We all love food...eat too much and it's a problem. The old adage everything in moderation. If alcohol is not your thing or even worse it's a problem for you don't drink and also remember alcohol is a drug and as depresent. So you need to be circumspect. | | | |

I can’t remember having a few pints in a local rugby club at 15 and also going to an 18th birthday around the same time, but I’ve no recollection about prices or what I was drinking.
I can remember going to a party in Cinderellas and doing the Mumbles mile before hand, I’d just turned 16 and I can remember getting a pint of Albright for 65p, it was one of the first times I’d managed to get served and I was pleased as punch.
I don’t drink much these days, I went to Cardiff last week, a pint and a mulled wine was about £11.50. We went for food in a Thai Restaurant and a can of beer (coke sized) was £5.50, it wasn’t very nice either. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 | | | |

First beer was at 15 when I started playing senior football. I remember it was between 20 and 25p a pint. Usually Albright or Welsh bitter, weak as hell.
I worked in a butchers shop on a Saturday morning from 5am til 12, and got £3 for it.
I soon learned to drink after football!!!!
I rarely drink these days but somehow I can still drink 12-14 pints with no problems. |  |

I am sure mine was a pint of dark ( probably Brains)
It was about 30p if I remember rightly
It was 1978 after I left school and started work that me and my mates started drinking regularly.
Before that it was probably a shared bottle of cider or beer |  |

Makes me dewy eyed.
Loh was just brilliant .
I often look at Epictetus book Tony Davillon sent to me .
When we were in Toronto, he offered to drive up and have dinner with him .
Sadly, he was unable to because of illhealth at that time
E Paul too …miss him a lot on here . The pal talk days were epic . | |
