heh heh....

OTOH, the trend is rampant among much better beers, also. I've seen
at least a half dozen premium IPAs drop their abv content. Usta be
most were commonly about 7.2 abv. Now, no surprise to see many
dropping to 7.0 or even below to 6.9-6.8 abv. Either the abv drops or
6-paks become 4-paks at little or no price change.
