Short version: This is a planter. It looks like it would look nice with a flower in it.
Long version: So my friend and I were floating in the pool, with no convenient place to rest our beer. Afterwards we got cracking on the issue. Unfortunately alcohol does not lend itself well to design work and our measurements were all wrong. So our object couldn't hold beer cans. We field tested (pool tested?) it with a beer bottle and we found it shot to the bottom even faster; apparently the cones we added didn't help buoyancy but they definitely made it more hydrodynamic! So while it was a dismal failure as a beer floater, it works well as a planter.
Its also an excellent beer torpedo, in case you were ever in a beer bottle race to the bottom of the pool**.
** I do not condone playing with glass in the pool. In fact, you shouldn't be playing with glass at all when you're drinking. Or OpenSCAD for that matter. :D
