It's not strong beers, you can get strong beers no problem. It's super strength lager that is sold dirt cheap in off licenses. Crest Super, Tennents Super and the like, are 9-10% lagers. They aren't beers you drink one of like quality ales are meant to be. They are session beers with high alcohol content. And they are aimed at binge drinkers and alcoholics. I think I used to get four for four quid. I've never known anyone to buy them and not fall into the 'problem drinker' category.
