A Beer Can is a sealed metal can of low alcohol beer. It weighs 0.3 and holds 300 mL.
Once empty, the can has several crafting uses. It can be turned into a Can Pipe or used to make a crafted gas mask filter. Beer Cans are very common in liquor stores, breweries, bars and garage fridges. Many zombies carry one too.
Eating
A full Beer Can quenches thirst by 6 and lowers hunger by 3. It holds 150 calories, so a beer adds a little energy along with the drink. The figures match a Beer Bottle exactly.
The can is the lighter choice of the two, at 0.3 against 0.4 for the bottle. Once the beer is gone, the can can hold water. When it holds at least 120 mL of water, seltzer water or tainted water, the character can drink from it automatically.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
The Open Beverage Can recipe opens a sealed can. The Open Pack of Beer recipe turns one Pack of Beer Cans into 6 cans.
The Make Can Pipe recipe turns a can into a Can Pipe. It needs a sharp knife, a sewing needle or an awl, which is kept. Empty cans also go into the Make Gas Mask Filter recipe, which makes a crafted filter for a gas mask.
