Absurd nonsense.

Only to someone clueless about beer and alcohol content. English
beers
are often around 4.0% alcohol by volume, which is equivalent to 3.2%
alcohol by weight. Many English beers have even less alcohol
content;
it's not uncommon to see ales at 3.8% abv, and mild ales go even
lower.

And plenty go higher.


Mass-produced lagers brewed in England aren't terribly high in
alcohol,

5 - 5.2% for popular lagers like Stella and Holsten (both brewed
here).


with the exception of junk like "Kestrel Super Strength" and
"Carlsberg
Special Export" - high-alcohol high-adjunct liquid junk for people
who
might as well be drinking cheap wine or mixed drinks by the bucket.

Typical American mass-produced beers range from 4.0% abv to 5.0% abv,
and there are numerous American-made beers considerably stronger than
this. The fabled "three two" beer sold in some parts of the USA is
3.2% alcohol by WEIGHT - the same as 4.0% alcohol by volume.

Get your facts straight before your tedious pronouncement of "absurd
nonsense."

I suggest you read this. These London brewed beers are available in
the
USA.
