If I'm drinking Mexican beer, I prefer Modelo especially the Negra
variety. The rest aren't bad but there are often better beers from those
countries and also there are really a lot of different varieties of Sam
Adams. The last keeps introducing new types and, unfortunately,
discontinuing some of them. Their Scotch Ale was a case in point.

Beck's isn't from Bavaria, and it's not often found there. In most of
Germany, local brands take precedence.

No, it doesn't. It does in a couple states, but it is not a nationwide
thing.

Although Liqour Laws have been updated, years ago
malt liquor was anything over 3.2 ABV in some States.
Malt liquor is a American name for high ABV lagers
made with cheap adjuncts. Europeans refer to it as
superduper lager. Not all high ABV lagers qualify
as a malt liquor. An immediate example is Eisbock.

South Carolina fixed their law (following NC and GA). I think Alabama
failed their last state legislative session, but that'll go soon.
Mississippi? Utah?
But "Malt Liquor" as a legal term still persists in but a few states,
much like "Ale" as a strength designation.

It's 4%% ABV. The next time you are in Park City, UT
stop at the Wasatch Brewpub for a few glasses of
Polygamy Porter - Why have just one? And take some
home for the wives.
