Not really, seeing as if your beer can is in a vacuum you are going to have a hard time bringing it to your lips.

Beer cans work well enough in weightlessness I would have thought - plus they have the added utility that they can been shaken up and used as a form of indoor propulsion when no convenient handgrip is available.

Now, if we can just develop a weightless beer bong, we can start construction on Space Station AlphaGammaPhi
