4.4% by volume...

My preferred local premium beers are Yards Brewery's Philadelphia Pale Ale and "Brawler" (basically English mild ale) beers, which are 4.3 and 4.2 respectively.  I tend to prefer lower alcohol beers, actually.

But in reality I just drink a lot of Beck's pint cans in my private life.  Which is the standard 4.9%

I don't have beer. If I want urine with alcohol content, I can go closer to the source.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I have 5 cases stacked next to the refrigerator, but I probably won't be able to stock up again until December. :(

3-6 percent range.

There's a place in central London which does a delicious beer that gives you no warning of its strength. I was drinking with a couple big guys and we were totally wasted after a few pints. On further investigation it turned out we had ordered the home-brewed high-strength beer. <_<

Anythring overt 8% is fake.

You can do bettwer by pouring vodka into yourr beeerr.

Por favor, anything over 8% is fake. Youn cannot make a beer over 8%.
Ask arround.

I mostly drink Guinness. So 4%. Though, I'm planning to take a Caribbean cruise for the sole purpose of obtaining the Foreign Extra at 7.5%
That's a whole different experience, much maltier, some prunes and fruitiness compared to the dull omniprescent driness of the Guinnes stouts. I love it - too bad you can't get it here!
