I'm sure they used to be up around the 5% area. 4.8 maybe. Was gutted really, just can't see the point of buying lager if it ain't around 5% or more.

Becks were playing the long game a few years back when they introduced Becks Vier (4) to the UK market , and only the UK market. That has gradually disappeared from sight to be replaced by Becks original but has kept the 4% abv. Its only in the UK apparently, as we cannot hold our ale without descending into lawless picts and Saxons hellbent on rearranging one another’s faces.

Reducing strength from 5% to 4% reduces duty by approx 25p a litre. That might have something to do with it as well as encouraging folk to buy more, as it's more drinkable.
