Minimum priced alcohol. (8)

I was in Asda Enniskillen last weekend!
20 Bottles of Bud/Heineken/Miller for £7.. I saw 20 Bottles in Super Valu here on offer for €15, big difference.
24 full size cans of Heineken in Asda for £17, in Super Valu the normal price is normally €47 but they were doing a sale for €27.. Again, big difference!

Maybe it is because I am awful at maths and cannot figure out the currency difference
but when I hand over €50 for £22 of goods and get a handful of pence back I feel robbed

I have seen reports on BBC that UK government are considering a minimun price for alcohol too so the days of cheap alcohol could be numbered
