Draught coke is just post mix syrup, mains tap water and carbon dioxide. Costs about 15p a pint all in. Darught lager is about £90 a keg for standard lagers. Cheaper if you bulk buy like Punch.

margins are much higher on the soft drinks ,ffs they should be rubbing their hands every time someone orders a coke and 3/4 glass of ice.

There's normally a good 2-4 pints extra in a keg as well

In a Firkin then yes, thereabouts.

Some of it will end up as waste of course.
