Are alcoholic energy drinks the equivalent of beer in terms of alcohol volume?

The Thinker asked:

Are alcoholic energy drinks the equivalent of beer in terms of alcohol volume?
For instance, if i have one Sparks or Tilt – would it be like drinking a beer or do they have more alcohol in them? Sparks has 7.0 – 8 alcohol volume and Tilt has 6.6 – 8.0 alcohol volume.

typical beers run around 5% unless out west where they have 3.5% so be careful with the extra energy
