There is shortage of some alcoholic beverages in the Upper West Region this festive season.
Kasatintin.com has gathered that Club Beer in particular has been in short supply in the region for the past three weeks.
Hoteliers, restaurant and bar operators have expressed their displeasure at the scarcity of the product.
They were also displeased with the struggles they go through each day to purchase crates of beer to be sold to regular consumers.
Some operators reportedly spend the night at beer depots to enable them to buy the drink to meet the holiday market demands.
A local drinking spot owner told Joy News that ‘the beverage is only secured when one has an insider’.
‘Assuming you own a business from which you get your daily bread, and you come with 15 crates and you’re given two, where are you expected to get the rest from?’ the bar owner quizzed.
Operators have consequentially been forced to increase the price per Club Beer bottle from GH¢5 to GH¢7 but people still buy the product as they are determined to booze this yuletide.
A young woman for instance drunk 25 bottles of beer in 3 minutes. Watch the video below.
