We are gradually accumulating whiskey pricing data in the Meet My Shorts column. The state
Central Statistics Office has been doing something similar for Dublin and the rest of the country. According to
their findings:
- A bottle of whiskey (take home) is 2.7% more expensive in Dublin than outside Dublin.
- A single measure of whiskey is 6.9% more expensive in Dublin.
- A bottle of whiskey in Dublin varies between €23.89 and €27.54, average €26.04.
- A measure of whiskey in Dublin varies between €3.48 and €4.27, average €3.89.
- A bottle of whiskey outside Dublin varies between €19.10 and €27.39, average €25.36.
- A measure of whiskey outside Dublin varies between €3.22 and €4.29, average €3.64.
For a measure of whiskey, those Dublin figures seem on the low side to me. Maybe I'm hanging out in the expensive bars.

We ought to start tracking take home bottles too. I imagine a fair amount of people purchase bottles, possibly even more so than purchase shorts at the bar.
I agree with you; that would be interesting to track. Want to mix it in with Meet My Shorts? In the meantime I can try to come up with a better DB-based system.
