People in Greater Manchester notice that being sober is increasingly expensive

Going out for a couple of alcoholic beverages after work or over the weekend can turn out to be a pretty expensive occasion if you don’t keep an eye on your pursestrings.

It led others to share their dismay of what they considered to be expensive costs of soft drinks. “Same at Cafe Rouge at the Lowry,” one person suggested. Another said: “Paid £4 for a pint of coke in the Marble Arch.” “The whole city is going down the pan with this stuff,” another person posted. “I get there’s some room for price increases but this is just pure greed and exploiting captive audiences.”

Some people suggested that the cost of drinks have gone up across the country and not just in Manchester due to the cost of living crisis. “Has everyone forgotten that inflation is rife and prices have been going up for a while,” one stated. The M.E.N found that there are still some places in Manchester where the cost of soft drinks don't quite reach the £4+ high. A bottle of Pepsi and Diet Pepsi will cost around £2.75 at The Midland hotel, while a 22cl bottle of Coca-Cola at the Alchemist will cost £3.

Replying to the original post, they wrote: “That is on the steep side, but dispensing soft drinks is actually really expensive.
