Hell next thing you know they'll introduce a small portable metal container with a screw on cap for discretely transporting any liquor of your choice.

My wife came home from the grocery store last month with a 4 pack of JD & Coke in "bottles". Interestingly when I popped the cap the "bottle" turned out to be aluminum so I guess technically it was JD and Coke in a can.

8 shots of 80 proof in a can for $5. If you drank a 6 pack of that in an hour you'd be dead.

Isn't this what flasks are for?

Seriously... Scotch in a can...

Cans destroy beer... who knows they'll do to scotch.

say what? cans preserve beer better than bottles.

Not the same thing. Beer that's been in a can tastes worse than beer that's been in a bottle, provided both are fresh. I don't drink asshole beer, regardless of its container.

My objection isn't so much the material of the container as it is about the practicality of the container. Jack and Coke in a bottle is 1 drink per bottle while scotch in a can is 8 drinks per can. On top of that madness, you can't put the cap back on a can when you don't finish the contents. Pop the top and you are drinking 8 shots, putting the leftovers into another container for later, or discarding whatever isn't consumed.

They claim it's too inconvenient to bring a bottle of scotch on a boat or to a party?
Well yeah. How often have you brought a bottle of scotch to a party only to have some freeloader insist that you give him a taste? Does that happen when you're holding a can? Of course not! Bring along a couple cans of scotch and the freeloaders will be high and dry.
