I mean I’ve been to Zurich and Iceland pretty recently and they were hella expensive but still likely less than $20 for a bloody Mary.
Paris is not nearly one of the most expensive cities. For a huge cultural capital it’s really quite affordable. Try Zurich or San Francisco or Singapore.

20 dollars is about 16 CHF, that’s an extremely normal price for a cocktail. I live just outside Zurich, I’m not exaggerating for comedic or dramatic effect. In a fancy bar in district 1 or niedersorf it’s more like 25 CHF or 30 USD.
Just a random selection of a few bars in downtown:

Okay, so you realize that Zurich is like number two most expensive city in the world? And the prices you cite are still barely on par with this $25 claim which is heavily implied to be common in the post? This post may as well say that any hipster bar charges that much, which is absolutely not a thing for like 99% of the planet. I live in an expensive city and never rarely pay more than like $14 for a drink. Under $10 isn’t even that hard to find…

Zurich, jesus. May as well just hand someone a 100 euro note when you walk out of your door and be done with it, even if you don’t plan on spending anything.
