North American drink beer out of cans a lot, leading to increased BPA consumption:

There must be other articles talking about BPA in canned food and all that. Bottom line is, our BPA absorption is likely to be higher that it should be, and that is known to be linked to obesity, so...

Seriously? I don't know if you're obese or not, but this is the attitude of a lot of obese people which makes them the center of ridicule.

If there's a link, sure. BUT, which of these is the right solution?

a) drink non-canned drinks (wine, cocktails, high balls)
b) buy bottled beer
c) stop drinking beer
d) blame the cans, and continue drinking canned beer while being obese

For you, and a huge majority of obese people, d) is their choice. And they should rightfully be ridiculed for it.

For the record, I'd just like to say that even IF there was a link between BPA and obesity, it's minor at best, and what's inside the cans is probably causing obesity far more than any sort of BPA absorption effect.
