There's a reason that Guiness is lower in alcohol content. It's because in Ireland beer is taxed according to its abv (alcohol by volume).
The higher the alcohol, the more tax the drinker pays. Believe it or not, the Guiness that is exported to the US actually has a higher alcohol content than what is served in the pubs in Ireland.
Guiness is good, but you should taste the homebrew chocolate stout Mrs. L and I brew up. Yummy!

Guiness is better for you than other beers? Brilliant! I'll drink to that!

The ancient Egyptians not only were avid beer drinkers but, thought the bowels were the source of both physical and spiritual pollution. They advocated purges for good health. Seems like this thinking is brought to perfection in Guiness.

Guinness is by far my most favorite beer. I order it so much that when my grad school buddies and I go on our regular Thursday night outings to the bar, the server always knows that Guinness is my drink.
Although I do like to "change it up" sometimes...once in a while, I'll have an Irish Car Bomb...half or 3/4 a glass of Guinness with a shot glass filled with whiskey (Jameson usually, but I prefer Crown Royal) dropped in.

I am allergic to beer & stout. It makes my throat swell shut. See how lucky you all are?
