I'm trying to touch on that addictive quality that keeps you coming back for more, even when you really should be done. When I say satisfies a kind of hunger, I mean it feels good, not 'you're satisfied so you don't want any more'. I can see how my choice of words are confusing though. Sorry about that.

I'd say that it's a matter of satiation.

People can consume large quantities of food-- quite a bit more than liquids.. not because there is more space in your stomach for food, but that your brain says stop a lot sooner with liquids. I personally don't know why, but I suspect that there's a bigger hunger for foods because they satisfy a different need than water.

I feel like beer satisfies that same need, More so than lighter / less nutritious tasting liquids.
