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!
