Slate’s Green Lantern takes on the question of cans versus glass bottles and comes up with a typically nuanced answer:

If your chosen tipple is produced very close to home and your town has a robust recycling program, then glass bottles are probably the way to go. But if your preferred suds are brewed far away, by a company that’s even mildly eco-aware, aluminum cans are the wiser choice.

I should note that Salon’s Pablo Päster tackled a similar question over a month ago, deciding that plastic bottles are better than aluminum cans. Assuming both columnists’ logic is sound, that means: plastic bottles are better than cans, and cans are (generally) better than glass bottles.
