Actually, our recommendation pertains to the sugar content and not the alcohol content.
A beer or a strong beer, regardless of the alcohol content, never has more than roughly 4% sugar. Products such as FCKDUP, which Athéna Gervais had consumed, have 11% sugar.
We recommend that sugar content be a criterion that dictates a production method. A very sweet product would therefore have to be made using spirits. It would then be subject to a higher excise tax and would be sold only in government outlets.
