If anyone happens to see these in there travels anywhere along there travels please let me know. They are called can Capps, they go on top of your favorite legal beverage can so its like drinking out of a bottle rather than a can. My brother is looking for some. The ones available most places like Amazon are cheep imitations. They must be the brand name made in the USA. They are unfortunately no longer made from what I understand and the only place that claims to have some are some company out of Europe somewhere so he's afraid to order them from there. Here is a picture of them. If anyone happens to see them anywhere please let me know,  thank you all.

Will do , but I’m so used to drinking out of a can now and so old that I can’t learn new tricks  

[Dtret]

Just pour your “ beverage “ in a plastic bottle slowly , so it doesn’t go flat, and you’re good to go. Roll on.

I'm fine drinking out of a can but my brother is a bit strange 😅 some people say I am too but I don't see i🤔

I find cans easier to deal with....

I'm always trying to get that last bit out of the bottle, but can't tip it high enough because of the roof height.

I'm sure I look like a hard core drinker tilting my head to try and get that last mouthful......

Not supposed to be drinking in the car 😅 besides my brother has a roadster so not a problem no roof

This might also explain those who have chosen to make their Montes into convertibles....

I can relate, Steve.  Cap size, tab size etc all contribute to the volume of air intake and resulting turbulence as it relates to the speed/volume (assisted by gravity) regarding the escape of that golden liquid nectar from its glass or aluminum vessel. 

A Coors light, for example, tastes differently from longneck bottle to 12 ounce can with the big push in tab to the 16 ounce can with the twist off “big mouth” cap.  Temperature of said beverage also plays an important factor in taste.  As does age of the beverage. 

Yeah, I know a couple of things about drinking beer 😂🤣

Oh it's definitely better out of bottles for sure but bottles are heavier and more chance of breaking so for camping and car shows I always do cans. His problem is they don't make his Genesee Cream Ale in bottles any more, that's all he drinks.

Same with Miller Lite 😀 And yes outta a cooler filled with ice sooooooooo good 😀 Downside of course bottles takes up more space 🙃

My special occasion beer is Kronenbourg 1664 , mostly avail in bottles, but wallymart in Va had 4 packs of cans a year or two ago.

Same here… no bottles at shows.  Can are lighter, safer and you can’t (safely) crush a bottle to minimize volume of trash/recycling.  

And Genesee Cream Ale!!  Wow, there’s a blast from the past!!  a buddy of mine all throughout high school drank nothing but that (if available at the house) as he grew up watching his brothers and dad drink it.  I remember his old man coming home with literally dozens of cases of it when he would return from wherever he went out east.  My buddy Ed and his 3 older brothers would assembly line the cases from family station wagon to the house.   I haven’t had one since Senior Ditch Day, sometime in May 1988.  Damn… to be 18 again for even a week…

Wow now I feel old. 88 you say? Let's see in 88 my daughter was 5 years old and I had bought my second house 2 years before that. Bought my first house in 75.

To clarify… I was a senior in HS in ‘88, so I imagine you and I aren’t that far apart age-wise.

I have been using these for years. Might not be available any more.

There's always the Homer Simpson beer hat option..... Allows for hands free drinking. 

Not sure about roof clearance issues, but at a show, it allows one to be able to carry two hot dogs.
