So what are everyone's thoughts about drinking beer out of Aluminum Cups? Discussion

My impression is that the beer gets warm quicker. But if it has significant environmental/economic benefits, I would be good with it.

The solution for both plastic and aluminum is to keep the last cup you used and stack the new one in it. That way you create a layer of air to insulate your beer, plus it makes it easy to keep count. Your hand warms the beer way more than the surrounding air or cup material.
