People enjoying the races are not just losing money on the horses, they are also seeing their bank balances drained at the bar. A pint of Guinness is available for a gob-smacking £7 while a pint of Carling is £6.90.
A pint of cider or a bottle of Doom Bar Bitter is also costing punters £7. The Cheltenham Festival is back in all its glory after being held behind closed doors in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
There are record numbers due to attend the festival this year and it's estimated that around 260,000 pints of Guinness will be downed over the four days, GloucestershireLive reports. This works out at £1,820,000 being spent on the black stuff.
