- I think, Budweiser, for instance, is 3.4 percent alcohol, but in Germany
- they measure alcohol content by volume, while in the U.S. we measuse it
- by weight (or possibly the other way around), so the comparison isn't
- really valid. I think that using the German system of measurement most
- mass-market U.S. beers would be about 4.5 % alcohol.
