Holland’s most expensive drinks

Terraces on Amsterdam’s Leidseplein serve Holland’s most expensive drinks. That is, you pay premium prices for a simple cup of coffee or a standard glass of beer. Coffee will set you back €2,30, and the beer €2,70. You’re not likely to find half a liter of beer (a pint, more or less) going for less than €5,00.

The terraces at Rembrandtplein, also in Amsterdam, rank as second most expensive in the country accirdubg to a report by Consumentenbond, a consumer information service.

The report shows that prices for drinks enjoyed at outdoor café’s in Amsterdam are eight to nine percent higher than the nationwide average.

Lots of Rain = Pricey Beer

Bad news for all beerdrinkers.... Because of the bad weather in the last two months, the wheat hasn't really grown all summer so the prices of all wheats have gone up at least sixty percent. Besides beer all other wheat product are going up in price as well... Sorry breadeaters, Gindrinkers, pastamunchers, eggfriers etc. etc. etc..

Ouch!

A Northern Iranian man got 180 whiplashes during a holiday. He got these because he drank 2 beers. 35 year old Mamand Mamandy is doing okay, but is still in very much pain. Mamandy, a Kurdish male was visiting his mum in Baneh. The police arrested him there. The family was having a barbeque when the police drove by and saw Mamand having a sip of his beer. In total he'd had 2 beers. Straight away he got arrested and at the policestation they sentenced him to 180 whiplashes. He got them on his back. Mamand seeked asylum in Norway in 1999. He lives in a town called Drammen and has the Norwegian nationality.... This is too sad for words.....
