The whole; what's a case, half-sack or box debate, varies from province to province. Slang just works that way. When I went to school in BC in the mid 1990's a half sack was 6 beers and a case was 12. Some of my fellow students from Ontario told me that they called 12 beers a box and 24 was a case or a two-four. Whatever... it's not that important.
Now with regard to alcohol content by volume, that is a little more concrete.
All Canadian made beer will have at least 5% alc/vol, otherwise it will be clearly labled as being "light." IE: Labatt's Lite, Bud Lite and so on. As I understand it, this is the law. The US has no such law and each state can limit and legislate their alc/vol content as they see fit. From what I was told by people that live there, all beer in Utah is limited to 3.2% but may not be labled as such, in many cases they don't post a alc/vol content anywhere on the label.
