RW> Well, here's what I did: I took some cola (beer and liquor may be next)
 RW> and seperated it into a shot glass and left some in the aluminum can. I
 RW> put both of them into the freezer at the same time and removed them 1/2
 RW> hour later.

 RW> Alum can      - 42 degrees F
-41C

 RW> Glass         - 54 degrees F
-47C

 RW> Cola in glass - 34 degrees F
-36.66C

RW> Cola in can   - 33 degrees F
-36.11C

Why do you have that low temp in your freezer?  About -4F (-20C) is enough.
Can this have something to do with that we didn't get the same result?
To compare our result we should use the same liquid and have the same temp
in our freezers.

 RW> After 5 minutes out of the freezer, the glass has stayed within a few
 RW> degrees of when it came out at 56 degrees F, however, the aluminum can has
 RW> warmed up considerably in that time to 64 degrees. Both were in a 80
 RW> degree F room.

At least this proves that after taking out a can of beer it should be poured into
a glass in order to stay cool longer.

 RW>>> Beer would have far less alcohol than liquor.

 RW>>> 100 proof liquor would be 50% alcohol, while eurapeon beer
is probably
 RW>>> around 6% alcohol.

 BF>> 80 proof (40%) compared to 5.8%.

 RW> Since the rest is mostely water, we can assume that to be the difference
 RW> 'felt' in temp...

Maybe.
