Tin of Beans. Can of beer. Or bottle of beer if you feel that you're above drinking from a can. Until you're back in a strange house at 3am and there are only cans left, and you'll suck the last drop from it because you're really a drunken whore.

Yeah. Can it is.

Tins usually have food in 'em.

Cans usually have liquid in 'em.

From your profile: "History
of Ireland: Vikings, famine, British rule, civil war, big hair, recession, celtic tiger, recession again, NAMA."

You skipped the pre-Viking era. All 9,000 years of it.
Jaysus, do they even teach Irish history in school these days?

Just search for "The Brown Bull Of Cooley" and see how those feckers in Ulster would never have become part of a united Ireland, even if the hated Brits had not invaded or if Ian Paisley had not created a Christian cult.

Those feckers said "NO!" a long time before the Paisley cúnt.

Here was me hoping to find out what to officially call one of my favourite beverage containers when I was blessed with the sight of this rant about the Brits. Thank you Terry, that'll learn 'em.
