Sure... but bottles are way cooler!

A few that you missed, 7. Trying to seek canned beer into an event (eg cricket, rugby, Hamilton V8's) is a damn sight easier than trying to sneek bottled beer. 8. Forget trucks, taking a dozen cans to a mates to watch the game is easier than carrying a dozen bottles. Likewise, a 6 can holder chilly bag is smaller & easier to carry than a 6 bottle holder. 9. To look posh without having to be, you can easily fit three cans into most wine bottle carriers. One can easily sits on another. 10. Cans stack better in the fridge because one can easily sits on top of another. So you can fit more in. 11. Bottles have labels which can be peeled off by those who have partaken of a few or drinkers who are plain bored and this contributes to the mess that needs to be cleaned up. Can don't have labels so don't add to thee mess other than the can itself. Cans also have designs that can go all the way around, top to bottom. This is starting to look like a Super 14 score, better stop. Long live the can!!

i can think of a few other can supporting reasons but still for some reason i prefer the bottle... maybe it's something to do with range... or subliminal messaging from these guys has really pulled off!

Canned beer ages faster Bottles are ok a lot longer

I like my steak aged, not my beer. It's never in the fridge long enough to age very much anyway.

12. Its all right to crush the can in a very manly hand clenching action once empty - try doing that with a bottle. 13. You can shotgun a can. 14. One can can apparently support upwards of a tonne in weight in positioned perfectly on a flat surface. They are so strong. I have not tried a tonne but I have stood on one on one leg. 15. You can build super sweet towers, walls hell even castles with your empty beer cans. Much harder with bottles... - Leon

wtf raymond you just copied and pasted my text... was very confused and almost emailed the boss thinking my account was messy...

I still prefer the bottle. It has the extra benefit of providing a workout lifting the extra weight of the glass from the table to your mouth, thereby burning calories while you drink! At least that's my justification anyway .

Why hasn't anyone mentioned shotgun?? You can shotgun cans. Cans win :)
