I'm sitting here surrounded by Tyskie 5.5%; Warka 5.5%; Tatra 6.0%; Mocne 7.0%. Do they count as strong?
A few years back in Szczecin (western Poland), 9 in the morning in Feb waiting for a taxi, minus 10, I gave a drunk a decent hand-out. Holding a can of Mocne, he'd asked for money in Polish, German, Russian and finally English.
Any drunk who can panhandle in 4 languages is OK by me.
All the above beers, and plenty more decent ones, usually available in your local sklep for a quid.
