I don't think many people men lager supped lager back in the '60s - it was, and still is a woman's drink - but nevertheless it does average out stronger than bitter. That probably explains why there is such alcohol related violence today - the young lads who sup lager probably get a hormone inbalance resulting in a confused gender crisis causing them to start fights in order to prove their masculinity.
sorry T, wasn't counting lager as beer.
