Topic: Beer bottles v Aluminum cans: DM's Top Ten List

[Death_Merchant]

Just though I'd share my point of view from a rant with former and fellow Wisconsinite beer consumers
-DM

Do not berate the significant contribution to civilization made by the Al can!
 
Witness:
 
1) Lower aspect ratio and more stable than bottles results in decreased "sonofabitch I knocked over my beer" incidents.
2) Just try crushing a bottle on your forehead....
3) Employs millions to clean our dumpsters and beaches of empties without the clanking noise of bottle-filled bags
4) More fun! Clear bottles only lets you actually see which was shaken by your friends
5) Promotes increase in wildlife intelligence through natural selection: Stoopid birds eliminated by six-pack plastic holders
6) Less likelihood of busting you teeth by bottle impact as your drunkitudeness increases
7) Scattered empty cans pose a lower slip-fall hazard than bottles
Impossible for some nimrod to make a giant mess by picking off the labels
9) Fight safety: impossible to be killed by a broken aluminum can in a bar fight
 
and finally
 
10) Freshness dating on the can bottom!

Long time no see DM!

Let us not forget the wonderful plastic bottles that Miller introduced a few years ago, can we say ughhhhhhh, this tastes like crap? 

[Dracho]

Canned beverage tastes different because the inside of the can is coated with shellac to keep the acid in the beer, soda, etc, from degrading the can.

Pass me the Hefe Weisen beer!

One good thing about glass beer bottles. After you and your friends have imbibed way too many watching the college bowl games on New Years Day, you can go in the host's backyard and drop M-80s in the bottles and watch them explode.

I made the mistake of watching a firecracker explode in a bottle, little did I know backblast area was NOT clear!
