🔅Visitors to British pubs are not refilled with alcohol in two out of three cases.
Such conclusions were reached by experts from the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), who visited almost 80 establishments and conducted an independent study.
Thus, they found that about 70% of drinking establishments poured them less alcohol than it was indicated in the menu. Beer was not refilled in 86 per cent of cases, and wine - in 43 per cent.
Usually these are small discrepancies (up to 5%), but the CTSI calculated that, taking into account the average amount of alcohol consumed per person, beer drinkers are overpaying an average of £88.4 a year and wine drinkers £114.4 a year.
The association notes that alcohol prices in the UK are now at an all-time high - a standard bottle of red wine has risen by 8 per cent and a pint of beer by 5.6 per cent in the last year.
