medieval beer was less that 1% abv, whereas modern beers are like 5%, so it's only roughly 15% as much; 3L approx = 0.5 L of our beer, spread throughout the whole day not saying it isn't an interesting q, but part of the answer is "why are ppl drinking so much?"
I hear pretty varying figures for abv- “small beer” certainly existed but I’m not certain how much of people’s diet it was; and wine of course would have been significantly higher. (tho many people died of wine related alcoholism too)
My understanding is that when historians talk about dietary consumption of large quantities of beer they mean small beer (which can be verified by comparing the mandated price of the beer to the cost of the grain used to brew it)
And was wine higher? I assumed that medievals continued the Roman practice with respect to diluting table wine
