What's more worrying I wonder, preferring one strong beer because it's fewer overall calories per session, or wanting multiple low strength ones so you can do more drinking? I can't quite tell honestly

For me, the one strong beer is too much anymore.

I used to like the higher ABV beers, imperial stouts, etc more, but even just one of those is just.. too much. Especially getting a full pint.

For that reason I don’t mind that the high ABV options are getting toned down. This might be a case of economics and preferences moving parallel to each other.
