There were very few women, a lot of racket, empty beer bottles all around and cold sweaty cans in the hands of almost everybody.
I really like this kind of examples where an informal name is given to a physical phenomenon , in this case, condensation. It´s very helpful for teachers in order to present and explain some concepts. Condensation occurs when a substance passes from its gaseous phase to its liquid phase. The air surrounding the can contains water vapour that in contact with the cold surface of the can, condenses. It also takes part another concept more complicated called dew point.
The tittle of this good novel is a verse by Bécquer and it´s the opposite of a greek euphemism that called the fact of dying ´going with the many´
