> even cheaper than some mineral water brands. That seems like a poor comparison to make the point, since bottled mineral water is notoriously overpriced, particularly the "high end" brands. How does it compare to something with relatively standard prices like milk? In the US, particularly cheap beer for broke alcoholics might be $5 for a sixpack of cans, 2.1 L or approximately $2.5 per liter. Milk is something like $4 per gallon, or about $1.10 per liter. Much cheaper than the cheapest beer.
