No, I’m not talking about a diet ice cream drink (shudder), I’m talking about what’s demonstrated at this site: cans of Diet Coke will float in water; cans of Regular Coke will sink. It’s all in the sugar (which both adds weight and adds weight, so to speak).
Of course, Diet Coke tastes like crap, but that’s another topic.

Hey, it’s like the workplace!
Crap floats to the top. 😉
I once found a can of beer floating in the Colorado River. I don’t remember clearly what brand it was, but think it was Coors. Would darker beers sink? Hmm, now I’m thinking I’ll have to conduct an experiment.
According to this , darker beers have at least a higher Original Gravity (before fermentation) than water; the Final Gravity is reduced because the yeast consume the sugars.
This indicates that “The Final Gravity will usually range from 1.006 to 1.018. The higher the Final Gravity the more body the beer will have.”
Now, how carbination plays into this, I have no idea.
