Is 14 percent alcohol a lot?

Answer 1

In a beer an alcohol content of 5.9% is higher than standard. I suppose U.S. beer is all watered down so 5.9% is probably a pretty strong beer there. But here in Canada 5.9% is stronger than most, but by no means a strong beer.

Answer 2

Not really, though it does depend on your body weight. A heavier person can typically drink more than a lighter person without effects.
