Alcohol percentage is the same
HOWEVER
They can get confused, the same as they do in the UK, with the fact that a pint outside the USA is 20oz not 16oz.
It's more likely the extra 25% (based on US pints) drunk, and not any difference in strength that is affecting them.
I've seen many drunk Americans in the UK claiming that the beer is stronger here because "they drink the same at home and don't get drunk".
When you explain to them how much more they are actually drinking they are shocked.
Moonshine is nearly pure alcohol (I have a bottle of 190 proof or 95% alc. Everclear
in my freezer) back to your question - many Americans drink light/low-alcohol beer
so if/when they drink a QUALITY and high in alcohol beer, preferably from Unibroue,
it catches many off guard.
Have lived (and LEGALLY drunk quality alcohol) in both Canada and the States
Most Americans have never tasted moonshine.
Worst than that most Americans think Bud, Coors, Millers are really beer.
Most American beers are corn-flavor water with an alcohol content at or below that of near-beer.
some of the beer is 7% as American beer is 2% but the common beer is 5 % and yet American beer is still 2%

No, but on a side note would you believe I like Polar Bears?
(im from Canada, and my name is Rawwr Polar Bears, not Rawwwr Po)
No, but Moosehead and Molson are just like skunk in a bottle. How can anyone stand to drink that stuff?
No, it's the same percent alcohol...
