It used to be considered bad manners. Like eating with your hands.

I stock the coolers at the neighborhood convenience store. I wouldn't drink out of the cans.

Heh I remember making tab chains with those things. Also you used to get 2 little cuts on your upper lip from the opening in the beer cans after a heavy night of drinking. 😱

I am not old yet still don't drink from cans. They are not very clean in my opinion so I use a glass.

My thoughts exactly. When ever i drink with my dad/uncle/older relatives, they'll alwasy poor the beer into a glass. It doesn't matter if my Dad is piss DRUNK, he'll still manage to poor his beer into a glass or have my do it.
