Strangely enough, though alcohol percentages are required on the packageing of liquor and wine, it is illegal to put the alcohol percentage on beer labeling.  Go figure!

However, Miller Genuine Draft Light, MGD Genuine Draft, Miller Lite, Corona Extra, Corona Light, Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve, Heineken, and Skyy Blue are all %less. Aren't these guys supposed to put a percentage on everything, or is all beer considered between a certain percentage?
