than your average beer?what is the % contained in most beers?

Thank You!

I bought some by mistake..and it knocked me on my arss,,

Answer 1

Domestic light beers are usually between 3.5% and 4.5%

Answer 2

Your 5.9 % by volume is considerably more potent than the average domestic beer which runs between 3.5 and 4.5 % by volume. The alcohol volume for beers of Great Britain and Ireland are around the 5% mark.

Answer 3

An average Beer or Lager is around 4% (Carling, Tetleys). So called strong or export beers range from 5% up to around 12% for really strong.

Answer 4

Beer that has less than 5.5% alcohol in it is just water.
Try some of the Belgian "triple" beers (around 12%).
Knowing a bit about Americans, they might be banned.

Answer 5

Just slightly more potent than normal. Most beers run around 4.5% - 5%.

Answer 6

most beer is 5,2 but the bee your talk9ing about is probably heinikin beer that is the highest beer with most alchohol content i know i used to drink it all the time.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Budweiser is 5%
