Fermenting anything generally results in at most some 15-18%, depending on the yeast you use. I'd say 10-12% is more realistic for homemade wines, but 14-16 isn't out of the question.

So I don't know what the deal is specifically with dandelion wine, but usually 10% alc will fuck up a person (and a teen especially) pretty well if chugged and the brewing process usually leads to there being all sorts of things in it (alcohols sugars, not-too-toxic byproducts) so the hangovers you get from home wines are usually.... interesting, to say the least.
