In the US, for most of your mass produced beer, is usually in the four to high fives in the ABV. There are exceptions, some are now doing six to seven percent beers. Budlight Platinum and the like.
Most of the ones I drink are usually in the high nines to ten and above. I love dogfish heads 120 minute IPA. Super strong though. If you can find it on tap, it is freaking a glorious sight and taste!
Not to mention some of the Stone Brewery stuff (which is one of my favorites) is north of the nine percent!
If you like stouts, try Avery's Mephisto Stout. It is a sipping beer and man does it pack a punch! It is actually pretty good too!

5 monks is another one, bourbon barrel aged quad. Came in at 19.5%.
On the topic of ABV, most of what I drink is 9%+.
