if it was cheap, we'd have more drunkards on the streets most likely. Same goes with cigarettes and owning a car. If COE wasn't expensive, there will be constant traffic jams.

Honestly beer in Singapore isn't that expensive convered to other major cities.
Don't make the mistake of comparing Singapore to Manila, Jakarta or other cities which are less economically developed.
You can find cheap beer at hawker centres or at happy hours in most of the bars for $6-10. This is comparable to other major world cities.
Drink water lor, straight from tap also can drink :)
Don't drink in a bar if you are worried about the price.
