I'm doing this.




Found here


Thats that. I'm building a shelf. Putting it on a wall. Then collecting beer cans, which I've consumed. I like it when beer is in a can. Sure its sometimes better out of a bottle. I don't fucking care. Beer! Cans! Aluminum! Cylinder! Stay-tab opening mechanism!

An empty aluminum can weighs approximately half an ounce

In North America, the standard can size is 12 U.S. fl oz (355 ml; 12.5 imp fl oz). In India and most of Europe, standard cans are 330 ml (11.6 imp fl oz; 11.2 U.S. fl oz). In some European countries there is a second standard can size, 500 ml (17.6 imp fl oz; 16.9 U.S. fl oz), often used for beer (roughly equal in size to the non-standard American 16 U.S. fl oz (473 ml; 16.7 imp fl oz) "tall boy", also often used for beer). In Australia the standard can size is 375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 U.S. fl oz). South African standard cans are 330 ml (11.6 imp fl oz; 11.2 U.S. fl oz) and the promotional size is 440 ml (15.5 imp fl oz; 14.9 U.S. fl oz).

Many consumers find the taste of a drink from a can to be different from fountain drinks and those from plastic or glass bottles. In addition, some people believe that aluminum leaching into the fluid contained inside can be dangerous to the drinker's health.[7] The exact role (if any) of aluminum in Alzheimer's disease is still being researched and debated, though the scientific consensus is that aluminum plays no role in the development of the disease.[8][9] Aluminum cans contain an internal coating to protect the aluminum from beverage corrosion, but still, trace amounts of aluminum can be degraded into the liquid, which amounts vary depending on factors such storage temperature and liquid composition.

I'm not really worried about that last part. I know how I'm going to die. (Heart disease, or Heart Attack. I'm cool with it.)

Anyhow, I remember going to Catalina with my buddy JohnL. He got a beer on the boat we were going on, He got a Corona in a can. It was magical! Here is a picture, I'm pretty sure he had it at this point, but its not in the picture. I know I had a picture of it. i don't know where it is, or if I still even have it.

I also re-call the first time I saw Fat tire in a can, I was excited.
