The Midwest and Great lakes region isn't the south. Our beer is worth drinking on several different metrics.

4.5%-7% for common popular beers, and excluding the fancy craft ones that you're probably having only one or two of that are 10%-15%.

The south has fine liquor, but some states/areas have weird laws around beer that makes it basically tap water with a dream. Their tea will have more effect.

    I'm very for 3% alc beers.

    They are cheaper, you can drink more of them without getting plastered, they actually taste well, and it's much easier on your liver.

    It's more in line how we used to drink beer hundreds of years ago, you drank it throughout the day but didn't get completely fucked up so you could still be productive.

    To each their own, I'm not in the habit of telling people what to enjoy or not. :)
    Personally, I haven't encountered a beer at that strength that tasted palatable. I'd be academically curious if the liver load was more or less with an equivalent amount of alcohol spread over 12 hours or 4 hours. I know above a certain level it can't process it fast enough and you get your hangover effects, but also that the time spent processing has it's own load.

    I will, however, tease states that have a reputation for beer that's only about twice the alcohol as you naturally find in fruit juice.
