Do beer companies do the same with their aluminum cans? Apparently. Keystone beer was one of the first beer companies to use a BPA-epoxy liner in their cans. That wasn't all that long ago. Before the BPA-epoxy liner, it was exposure to aluminum. So what are we dealing with? First, 93% of Americans have measurable levels of BPA in their bodies, with food packaging representing the largest exposure route. There has been a widespread public concern with BPA toxicity exposure, so can companies got rid BPA because of growing concerns of it causing problems with increased risk of infertility, breast and prostate cancer, type-2 diabetes, obesity, asthma, and attention deficit disorder, neurological and immune systems in humans and animals.
There's is a growing concern that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and styrene-based plastics are now being used as BPA-free can lining materials. Styrene is a human carcinogen and PVC is made from the carcinogen, vinyl chloride monomer. For some reason, there is a big push using aluminum cans for beer and other beverage companies. I wonder why. Glass bottles have always been better for the taste in beverages.
I'm honestly not sure but I'm 100% with you. I think all food containers should be glass as it is most inert substance we can use. Our food is constantly in plastic and then we even expose our food to microwaves while it's sitting in plastic it makes me cringe. I try to use all glass Tupperware and glass drinking vessels.
Check this video out about aluminum cans and decide whether you still think they leech aluminum into the contents.

They only give up one thing if they have something nastier to introduce.

Wow, very interesting!
