Well we all know that bigger beers means a high gravity. But when a lot of people refer to "heavy" beers, what they mean is that they could only drink two or three. Most regular people will say they like Guiness, but it's like drinking a meal, and they could at most drink a couple. When we know it's actually more on the lighter side.
Obviously there's a difference in thickness when comparing say a big RIS to a Bud Light. The RIS is thick, the Bud is watery. I think more of reason to say the beer is "heavy" and to only drink two or three would be because of the alcohol content - not that it would fill you up more.
When we get right down to it, isn't 16 oz of liquid still 16 oz of liquid regardless of style? To me, I don't think I get filled up any more with a big RIS than a light beer.
Are there any facts behind "drinkability?" Can 16 oz of RIS fill you up more than 16 oz of Bud Light?
