With lockdown measures set to ease further this week, most of us are looking forward to getting back to the pub with our mates.
Over in Ireland, however, some drinking holes have already started to reopen their doors, and one punter took full advantage when it came to getting a round in.
According to staff at the Darnley Lodge Hotel in County Meath, one customer splashed out €189 (£171.23) on Guinness.

In a photo of the bill shared by the hotel, the punter ordered a staggering 42 pints of the black stuff.
But that's not all they bought. The eager customer also ordered two bowls of soup, a portion of fish and chips, and two glasses of coke, bringing their total bill to a staggering €229.90 (£208).
Now, while 42 pints might sound like a lot, because it is, you can rest assured that they weren't all for one person.
Speaking to Dublin Live, a member of staff said they were being shared between a group a friends. Well, that's a relief.

In Wales, though, not everyone has been able to enjoy themselves in such a reasonable manner.
Last month, photos posted online show crowds of drinkers that had descended onto the streets after a pub reopened to sell takeaway pints, with complaints of people peeing in public and intimidating residents.
The Village Bar Café, in Killay in Swansea, reopened on reduced hours and serving takeaway pints, following government guidelines, but things got out of hand when word spread and 'hundreds' of people turned up.
The bar's owner Martyn Jenkins said he acted within the guidelines and that local authorities supported his decision to reopen.

He said he launched the trial reopening to try and bring some life back into the local area and his business.
However, he admits that the trial 'has not turned out as we planned' and says the bar has now stopped trading at weekends.
One local resident told Wales Online he saw 'no social distancing' while he was walking through the area on Friday.

He said: "I was walking past Killay Square with my 8-year-old at around 5.50pm on Friday.
"There must have been hundreds of people talking and drinking beer.
"Many of them were in their 50s and unlikely to be from the same family. There was no social distancing at all.

"It was quite a scary experience for my daughter. On a normal day during lockdown you'd see three or four people at the square max.
"I feel for the older people trying to get essentials at the Co-op. The queue for the shop, because of social distancing, backs onto the square."
