1. いっぱい (IPpai) "one glass" and いっぱい (ipPAI) "full" have different accents, so thay are not confusing. 2. お腹はいっぱいです is awkward. It should be お腹がいっぱいです.

| Feb 17, 2012 at 5:04 | comment | added | silvermaple | I wonder if it would have something to do with the fact that the focus is more on "a beer that is a thing you can hold in your hand" (would be hitotsu) rather than "a beer that I am drinking/have drunk" (ippai). Like the difference between "There are two beers on the table" and "I went to the bar and had two beers". Or am I making things up? | |
