In the USA they must be below .5% abv. Almost all are much lower as that removed alcohol can be used in other products such as hard seltzers or rtd's. (A macro light beer is around 4.1%)

Also alcohol labeling has a small wiggle room but .8 bring zero is incorrect. If it's labeled at 5%. The manufacturer can legally sell it at a .3% wiggle so 4.7% to 5.3%.
