I'll vouch for that when it comes to beer. It's not just the packaging itself though, but also the experience. Plus, when you drink from a can directly, your lips will touch the outside / top aluminium, which will affect the flavor and experience - subtly, but it's there.

I prefer glass bottles for my beers.

Ahhh the subtle flavours of rat shit. I've never seen someone wash the top of a can before opening it. I mean, would you go around licking random surfaces that other hands have touched, rodents have scurried over and defecated on, etc?

The odds that a hand or rat has touched the top of a can you just pulled out of a box is pretty slim
