It really depends on the OG (original gravity) of the beer, as well as how many yeast cells are in a package. Some dry yeast packages are 5 grams, some are 11 grams, some liquid yeasts have 100 billion cells per package. Generally, in any beer over 1.040, you have to start thinking about yeast pitching rates.

Here's a great little calculator to help you know exactly how much yeast to pitch: http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html

If you overpitch by a little bit, there will be no problem. Underpitching is much more likely, and also will cause more problems. Stuck and/or incomplete fermentations, estery flavors, etc care common with underpitching.
