The less well off wouldn’t have a spare €350 to drop on booze. Many people wouldn’t in the longest stretch between paydays when bills still have to be paid.
Get a ferry to the UK and back, duty free.
>the wealthy won’t notice.
Can’t imagine “the wealthy” buying cans of Galahad or whaterver in Aldi somehow……….
With that amount of capital to start with he could have gotten twice as much drinkable beer from home brewing and could have made it at intervals throughout the year to ensure he always has access to fresh beer.
€350 is not a year’s worth of booze. It’s about 2 month’s worth in my house.
Look at how furious he looks.
The goofy smile is full of fire
Ye real title shoud read:
Person buys beer at Aldi and he is mildly pleased by that.
Ffs, if you spend that much money on booze that it’s going to have a negative affect on your finances..you might wanna look at how much you’re drinking.
Hope he checked the best before date.
Absolutely sad
So was there a camera man with him, did a buddy take the photo or did the Mirror make him go back and re-enact his heroic moment?
What an absolute mad lad. I bet his friends think he’s a legend. 😏
Jesus how embarrassing. Are people’s lives so consumed by alcohol?
>Public Health Minister Feighan said: “We are taking action to ensure cheap, strong alcohol is not available to young people at pocket money prices.”
It’s all lies – a transfer from the people of Ireland to alcohol retailers and publicans. Take the increased profits off these people and put it to appropriate use to convince me otherwise.
Furious Irishman- capable of anything lol
Imagine being proud of this . Then he says he’s not a big drinker but proceeds to tell us how he brings drink to everything he does
It should read fuckin eejit pisses away money on shite beer from Aldi
He doesn’t look furious to me .
“I’m not a big drinker” says man buying 300 cans of beer.
From the article
*Denis Boyle bought almost 300 cans of German pils and nearly 100 bottles of French lager ahead of the minimum unit pricing of alcohol.*
Then
*“Usually, if I go to the off-licence, I’ll buy a six pack. This time, I stocked up. I like a beer, but* ***I’m not a big drinker*** *and I wouldn’t bother with spirits so that will do me for the year.*
*“l’ll go up to the North once or twice a year and stock up.*
What does he do on a day out
*“When I go fishing by the river, I’ll bring a few cans and know I won’t be ripped off. When I’m going camping, I won’t be ripped off.”*
Not sure how he can claim to be “not a big drinker”.
I haven’t really been following this. What’s the story with this minimum pricing? Is it supposed to reduce alcohol consumption, raise taxes or stimulate the alcohol economy?
I stocked up on crack today. Got pounds and pounds of it at rock bottom prices, enough to last me ages. Fuck the government, they’re not getting a cent off me.
He looks livid tbf
How do these photo opportunities come about ?
Does he contact the paper and say ”I’m going to be buying a years supply of beer. Are you interested ?”.
“They won’t get one extra euro off me. I won’t be ripped off”….until you need more of course. Fella basically bought shares in Aldi over a few beers fs lol
Just brew your own.
A trolley surely not? I’d need a shipping container!
Is this a genuine article or satire? It reads like something from WWN.
I think he has a problem and its not the cost of drink
Congratulations you bought €350 of cheap piss and told the world 🤦.
That’s hardly a years supply. That’s just over one a day
