Keep in mind that not all beer is 4% alcohol. My grandfather was an alcoholic. He was stationed at various places in Europe during WW2 and saw some truly horrible things during that time. He had nightmares for the rest of his life. After the war, he drank vodka for many years, then later switched to cheap, strong lager (something like 8-10%, which tasted like cat's piss), which he drank all day, every day, for another 20 years or so. He didn't eat much during this time, presumably because he was full of lager. A bit of an aside, but I may as well add some more, since we're sharing stories. He ended up in hospital for a few weeks due to some condition caused by his alcoholism (surprising it took so long, really), and nearly died. He went through withdrawals during that time, and almost dieing gave him quite the scare - he never touched another drop from that day on. It was quite incredible how he was able to just stop with no relapse after drinking so heavily for so long.
