It's done with every kind of booze in the world, beer, vodka, even the fanciest single malts are done this way.

Sure, but how much would be too much? Brewing some 15% syrup and then adding water would be very different than adjusting within a percentage point or two.

I gave up on domestic beers a while back. The only exception was buying 6 of those aluminum Bud bottles with the Flames logo on them. They look cool. The beer inside sucked donkey balls.
I now enjoy this:

That beer is horrible.
Good advertising does not equal good beer.

Who said it had anything to do with advertising? I think it's a good beer.

I think Keiths is the best mass-produced Canadian beer. You can never go wrong with it at a party or if you have a brain cramp and can't decide at the pub.

Stella is tasty for a regular mass produced beer. Kieths and Ricards is good too. Hate Heineken.

Hardly. There are some god awful craft beers out there too. That said I love me some Wild Rose.
Stiegl and Lech changed my life. Real imports are the bomb-diggity.

I think you should do a little research into how booze is made.
Take scotch for example, most single malts come out of the cask at 50-60% alcohol, and they add water to get it to between 40-45%.
Is that purposely diluting yoru product just to make more profit? Of course not, it's just how you make a consistent product in the booze industry.
Beer is quite the same, and it could be done for several reasons, from consitency, to reducing carbs, to just plain old flavour considerations.
Until someone shows me some evidence that the beer on the shelves isn't 5% alcohol, I'll maintain my position that this lawsuit is ######ed.

Booze maybe, but with beer I think they measure until it reaches a certain specific gravity then they cool it and remove the yeast to prevent further fermentation.
Why let it sit in the tanks extra long to only water it down later? As soon as it gets enough alcohol get it out and get a new batch going.
These guys have been making very big batches using very large vats for a long time; I doubt there is much variance in what they do.
