I think the point is that the difference between a 4% and 5% beer is much more than perceived. That "1%" extra might not seem like its a big deal to people ready to sit down and have a few beers but it adds up by quite a lot. This article is meant for people that don't fully understand how the body deals with alcohol that it can't process.

Its actually 25% more, right? Its not the beer (water) quantity that's significant, its total alcohol consumed.
