Here in Brazil they never drink from the can or bottle. They always use a straw . I read somewhere a male rat will urinate every ten seconds to spread his scent.

Recent research shows that the tops of soda cans are more contaminated with germs and bacteria and than public toilets. As soda cans are stored in warehouses for long periods before arriving at your home, they come in contact with many potentially dangerous substances. One of the most toxic substances includes rat urine, which, when ingested can develop a bacterial disease called Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that can cause kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure, respiratory distress, and sometimes death. Soda can tops are not typically cleaned between the warehouse and your home. Be sure that when you bring home your next case of soda, you thoroughly wash with warm soap and water the tops of all soda cans before putting them in to your mouth or pouring your soda into a glass. ------------------------------ Talk is cheap.
