There are 24 cans in a case.

The word "case" doesn't imply a number, just a method of packaging. While generally speaking, a case is thought of as holding four six-packs, or 24 bottles or cans, some American companies have started marketing 30-can cases. This allows them to make it seem like the consumer is getting more for their money (more is better, right? Quantity over quality?). Also, by abandoning the six-pack packaging within the case, they can reduce the amount of empty space in the case, saving them money in shipping. The cans are put in an offset pattern in the case, rather than in a rectangular, four-by-six pattern. Think of the pattern of stars on a modern, 50 star American flag, as opposed to an old 48 star flag, and you'll get the idea. Also, apparently, the term "case" means different things in different areas of the world, but I'll admit to not being able to treat on that subject.

A case of beer means a minimum of 24...unless you are a p*ss.

man all us youngings (21 year olds)in my area call a 20 pack a "case". dammit, my mom was right.

Where I'm from, a case is a standard 24. Anything else is called by how many cans are in it, like a 30-pack, 18-pack, 12-pack and 6-pack.

"Case" is a term that is usually based on total volume of beverage stored/transported in the package. This allows taxes to be calculated with ease. It also varies due to marketing (30packs), tradition, etc. Many beers from around the world are packaged in sizes and volumes that are not "standard" to the US (11.5oz-one third liter-and 500ml are not uncommon). Same goes for wine (which I am familiar with). 750ml(a "fifth")*12 = 9L, 1.5L*6(standard "Magnum" case)=9L. 375ml (half-bottle, a little more than 12 oz.) *24=9L Most are based on metric measurements for import/export purposes.
