save you using your head its an arm and a leg
The current level of duty on a bottle of spirits is £6.50 given an average price per litre bottle of £10.00. The duty on a pint of beer at an average price of £2.50 per pint is £1.25. Sales of beer have been declining, falling by 10% in the last 5 years whilst the sale of spirits has remained steady. The current tax revenue from spirits is £2 billion and from beer £4 billion. The price elasticity of demand for spirits is -0.9 whilst for beer it is -0.85.

Figures based in 2003 though, wouldnt have changed too much though I wouldnt have thought

That's taken from an exam question, they're not real figures!
I've not worked on the C&E side of things for a while and can't remember the exact rates now, but on a pint of beer costing £2.50 you'll be paying 44p VAT and something like 30p in duty. The brewers make about a penny a pint and the pub owners take the rest of the profit.
