As per title. I very, very rarely drink, and I generally just want to buy a single of something for a rare treat, however most beers/ciders/etc are sold in multipacks.

The pricing on the shelf is usually per-pack only, yet sometimes I see random products with single cans/bottles missing, and sometimes random products will have a little section of unpackaged singles, despite not having a separate price showing.

Is it generally OK to split an unopened 4- or 6-pack, or is that as weird and inappropriate as doing the equivalent in a supermarket? What even are the rules around this?

    I’ve had mixed luck buying from split packs, admittedly not of alcohol but yes of mixers or long life milk. Sometimes they pass at the checkout without issues, sometimes it bounces which means you need to leave it or buy the full pack. I’m talking about Sydney btw
