a problem, currently in both alcohol and MJ is a trend towards strength. beers and alcohopops are becoming stronger. In the UK, a demographic change of ale towards lager seems innocuous enough. Ale's 20 years ago were at an average of 3.4%, while premium lagers now are up at 4.8-5%.

Yet if you look further back than 20 years many beers were stronger than the 4.8-5% and if you look into it , it was normal to drink a gallon a day of 8% beer starting with breakfast . Ever drunk any of the Trappist stuff ? Not surprising they have a vow of silence , who knows what sort of drunken rubbish they would be talking after drinking that .
Oh and alcopops are not stronger , just a more expensive way of buying spirits diluted with fizzy stuff , a successful marketing ploy to exploit the idiots .
