Also aluminum is super great at conducting heat! which means your drink will rapidly move toward whatever temperature it is.

Great at conduction, but with not a lot of thermal mass, meaning that actually your drink will usually just make whatever it's touching (your hand, often) super cold or hot.

It's a two way street. Your hand is reciprocally warming the drink.

Yeah, for sure. Though if you drink it fast enough, it won't warm the drink noticeably before it's gone.

Ahh, here's my problem, a beer lasts me like 45 minutes or more
