look how strong it is.  That's like 8 beers in there basically.  Most 40's are like between 6 or 8.  like 8.2 is harsh

Sounds like my kinda beer!

Imagine that stuff being used in a beer bong.

Yikes!

Cool, now that I live about an hour away from Canuckland.  I've had some 6.9% beers that sneak up on you.  Good thing I was home at the time.

There's a beer brewed by Sierra Nevada called Bigfoot Ale.  It has 9.6% alcohol by volume.  Yes, it is brutal.  Yes, I did regret drinking the stuff the next day.

That might be the one I was thinking of.  And yes, the next morning it was hard to get going.

The strongest beer I've ever had was while visiting Australia.

This guy Roger (who was a friend of the people I was visiting) brewed his own beer at home.

The brand of the stuff he brewed it out of was Cooper's which, in my opinion, blows away every American beer made.

He brewed these dark stouts and man, let me tell you, THAT was some strong beer!

6 of them & I was wasted.

it would be safer to break that bottle over your head than to drink it.

I remember the stink some people raised about ten years ago, when Labatt introduced Maximum Ice. It was going to have an unsuspecting public going around drunker than they thought they were. That was only a little more than 7%, with most Canadian beer being in the neighbourhood of 5 or 6%. Even then, there were much stronger beers available. They just didn't have a national ad campaign featuring Michael Ironside to make the average tea totaller aware that they existed. Seems even more ridiculous today than it did then.
