A lot of Western light beer is between 2% and 4%
Really? Is that a non-US west thing? In my mind a light beer is usually 4-5%. Most of them are 4.2%.
Depending on where you are a light beer means different things. For example the US and Canada it means low calorie, in Germany it means low alcohol (but not alcohol free).
Session ales are also typically in the 3% range.
In the US you can certainly find low alcohol beers like in the 3% range, but they’re very rare, you’d have to go looking for them specifically.
I was going to cite Oklahoma's liquor laws limiting cold beer sold in grocery and convenience stores to 3.2%, but they've since updated that to 15% (as it applies to wine as well).
