Cans

[onetracker]

Anyone else troubled the fact that beer cans (and most other items) are lined with BPA? I try to drink bottled beer when home and save cans for camping/traveling. But let’s be honest, many of my favorite beers are only sold in cans. So, that rule often goes out the window. What do you think?

The alcohol is probably worse for you than the cans it comes in.

I like the new beers being put out, but I hate cans. Some good beers can still be had in bottles and that's what I've transitioned to...

Exactly what I thought of as well.

When I think about the amount of garbage that I have voluntarily put into my body over the years I realize that beer cans are the least of my worries

Not sure what the right answer is. But I do know that glass is pretty benign but less convenient.

Eh the studies that I saw found between 0.1 and 0.5 mcg bpa in beer/liter. Since I usually drink 1 can/day, that's a ridiculously low dosage. As Jim said, the alcohol we are ingesting with each beer is far more toxic.
