Beer lovers across the U.S. have accused Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands, in class-action suits seeking millions in damages.

The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on labels. Budweiser and Michelob each boast of being 5 percent alcohol, while some "light" versions are said to be just over 4 percent.

The only A/ B product I buy is the Hurricane High Gravity Malt Liquor and I do not think the stated ABV of 8.1% is accurate. I think it is closer to 6% and it does taste watered down.

I've decided to boycott A/B products until I have some reassurance that their beers are not watered down and actually contain the stated ABV on the labels.
