I often socialize with a Belgian guy, and he will choose similarly strong Belgian beers, but will almost always split the bottle with someone else. I think that can would probably be split three ways — it is equivalent to 2½ to 3 reasonable glasses of wine.
Sometimes that means drinking less, but it might also mean each person tries a wider selection of beers.
(A deleted comment asked for a "European" view, and I should make clear this is not a unified European view. That's impossible, as drinking culture varies massively between countries, by drink, culture, law and tax.)
Here was the reference I used. Small glass of red/white/rosé wine (125ml, ABV 12%) 1.5 units Bottle of lager/beer/cider (330ml, ABV 5%) 1.7 units
473ml*0.12 = 57ml of alcohol (!) - so almost 6 10ml units in a single can??? so two of those 12% stouts would be 11.4 units! Ouch... Yeah. Maybe switch to one of them as a special treat once in a while. :)
Most of the beers I like are 7.5%, except stouts which are 10-12%. They also come in large 16oz cans. Two of these is almost 4 drinks. "Craft beer enthusiast" can start to approach heavy drinker very quickly.
