Original Gravity of beer

I understand that a higher OG beer = more alcohol, but what truly dictates a high OG beer from a low OG? Will a stout with the same ABV have more OG than a Pilsner with the same ABV?

Original gravity just tells you how much sugar is in the starting beer that is available to ferment. Higher original gravity means more potential fermentation, so higher potential final alcohol percent.
