At 'retail' spot prices, Aluminum is around $1,885.29 a metric ton. There are about 0.5714 ounces of aluminum in a typical can of beer. That is, there is around $0.03 of Aluminum in each can. (Actually, it is a lot less as, obviously, canning companies buy Aluminum in bulk.) Average can of beer is $1.15. Thus, Aluminum makes up -- at most -- 2% of the price. Assuming the "10% tariff" is completely passed on to the consumer, the increase in price would be -- wait for it -- less than a penny. In short, the article is complete BS.
