    Percent volume != quality. Not suggesting for one moment that you thought it was, but I thought it worth pointing out.

    They have some awful stuff over here that is about 9 or 10 percent and it's cheap and nasty.

    Are you from the states? Becuase "malt liquor" made either for or in the states does not count as beer. Oh and everyone should try homebrewing. My dad have been at it since December and we've managed to turn out an American Brown that was okay for a brief couple of weeks and then turned nasty sweet (our first batch), a Belgian Strong which exploded but is decent, a passable Hefeweizen, a fairly good Saison, and most recently an excellent Dubbel that I personally find acceptable as a Chimay or Allagash substitute, and it costs only $35 bucks per five gallons!

    My father used to make some pretty good wine and beer when I was a lad. In fact I recall my uncle falling into a stream after a beer or several. It was pretty potent stuff. I also remember the exploding bottles and huge mess etc.
