What Is the Alcohol Content of Bud Light?

The beer sold in the United States with the highest alcohol content is Sam Adams Triple Bock, which has an alcohol content of 17.5 percent. Several brands of beer sold within the United States contain less than the 0.5 percent that a drink contains before it is actually considered an alcoholic beverage. Although beers with alcohol contents of less than 0.5 percent may be purchased by minors throughout most of the nation, some states do place age restrictions on their consumption.
