1. ““Certainly in every day language a reference to ‘eleven cans of beer’ can only rationally be deemed to mean that the cans contained a beverage, and such reference did not mean empty beer cans. “The appellant himself testified as to the beer found by the officers. His testimony was directed toward a denial of any knowledge of the beer, and not toward establishing that the cans found were only empty cans. “This being so, the labels on the cans showing them to be Miller’s High Life beer were competent evidence as to the contents, making such issue a question of fact for the jury, and was sufficient to support the verdict in this, aspect. Woods v. State ex rel. Key, 247 Ala. 155 , 22 So.2d 901 .””
