’20-’21 household alcohol spend up 23%
Household spending on alcoholic beverages purchased for consumption at home increased from €2.2 billion in 2019 to nearly €2.7 billion in 2020, up almost 25% according to the Central Statistics Office’s Statistical Yearbook of Ireland for 2021, published recently.
The average price for a pint of stout in a bar has increased by just over 21% from €3.96 in 2010 to €4.80 in 2020.
This perhaps reflects the changing levels of societal restrictions, according to the CSO, where household expenditure on Hotels & Restaurants decreased from €16.2 billion in 2019 to €9.8 billion in 2020.
The CSO also points out that the average price for a pint of stout in a bar has increased by just over 21% from €3.96 in 2010 to €4.80 in 2020.
