I don't mind this. I like beer, but some styles I like can be 7% or more which is just too strong. I want to be able to enjoy the taste, not get buzzed after one beer with dinner.

I've tried the non alcoholic beers but they all have a similar off taste to them.

What's more worrying I wonder, preferring one strong beer because it's fewer overall calories per session, or wanting multiple low strength ones so you can do more drinking? I can't quite tell honestly
