We Brits love nothing more than a good holiday – especially if it involves sunny weather and cheap pints.
With the cost of living in the UK skyrocketing, many of us have had to forgo pub trips as the cost of a tipple is higher than ever.
In fact, research from Finder shows that the average cost of a beer is now £5.99 in London.

But, the cost of a pint varies around the world from just 67p all the way up to £9.98 in Qatar.
The UK price – which was based on London as the most expensive area – is a whopping double the average cost of a beer around the world.
Luckily for Brits wanting to fly away for a trip somewhere more exotic the website has also found the five cheapest places to sip on a pint.
Each of the cheapest five destinations comes in at under a quid a pint.
We would warn travel enthusiasts to check the current FCDO guidelines before booking a trip abroad especially when travelling to less common destinations, as entry rules and travel advice can often change quickly.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan – 67p a pint
Finder showed that the cheapest place in the world for a beer was Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
At just 67p you can snap up a refreshing beverage in the Central Asian nation’s capital city.
It may be an unusual holiday choice, but Tashkent is known for its many interesting museums and Soviet-era architecture.
You can experience an incredible mix of cultures with museums dedicated to Buddhist artefacts and those of the Timurid dynasty.
There’s also the Alisher Nava’i theatre which shows opera and ballet in a stunning building, or head to the gorgeous Chorus Bazaar to shop for gifts and local goods.
