Beer is actually cheaper in Switzerland than France, less taxes. As someone who lives on the border, I buy all my booze in Switzerland. Atleast in supermarkets.

Obviously swiss labour is much more expensive so in bars and restaurants its more expensive in Switzerland.

Maybe that explains Luxembourg as well, cuz on the face of it that makes no sense

As a Belgian, definitely. Booze is much cheaper in Luxembourg.
