I'm not sure where you got this information, but I'd be interested to see a source. As far as I know in the middle ages beers and ales were brewed using the same mash multiple times leading to varying strengths ranging from 10-12% for the first batch to very little alcohol ~1% from the third batch. And of course there were also various types of wines available. Children drank only the weak beer, but there was definitely high alcohol content drinks available.
I'm not sure if I need to provide a source as we're in agreement that on average the AC was lower, which is what I was trying to communicate.
