It's funny, the Dutch feel the same way about Heineken. They say it's brewed for Americans

It is. It’s all watered down. 7% alcohol here, 40% there...

No, no, no. It's the same stuff here as there, and it's not 7%.

"Budweiser has a 5 percent alcohol by volume. However, it’s typically measured by weight, and
therefore will show as 4 percent by weight. Heineken shows a 5.4 percent alcohol by volume rating.
That would translate into a 4.3 percent alcohol by weight. To the untrained or uneducated eye, that
means Budweiser is weaker than Heineken by a full percent.

When you work the math and calculate the alcohol using the same methods, it’s almost the same
content by volume. That’s right, it’s only a measly .3 percent gain in alcohol content. So yes, for
every three Heinekens you drink, you’re getting a full extra percent of alcohol over your Bud
guzzling pals. That just makes you a hog. Nobody likes a hog."
