Hey, at least you could get one... I recall that once in the US the girl
behind the counter could not take my money because my order contained a
Budweiser Light and she was not 27 yet.
We now have "Het Kanon" (the canon) from Grolsch that is 10.5% alcohol
and sold in 0.45L bottles, so beyond the "triples" from Belgium ;-)
