High school mentality.
American's call 6% beer "Strong beer". Get the fuck out.
That's gotta be a regional thing, I have never heard the term "strong beer" said stateside and my life is probably more than half over.
Domestic beers are standardized at 4.5-5%, which at 12 oz is the equivalent to one standard unit of alcohol in American Medicine.
Pretty much anything that's popular right now is an IPA and those typically start around 6% and go all the way up to 8% before people decide to start renaming them doubles or barley wines.
Besides when comparing beer drinking of Europeans to Americans in the context of alcohol your comparing apples and oranges. Americans drink less beer and like 50% more hard liquor then y'all do.
