Cans of beer = 737 too heavy to takeoff?

Onboard an easyJet flight the other day from NCL to PMI. After we got airbourne the Crew announced over the PA system that all cans of beer had been removed from the aircraft as it was too heavy to take off with them on. (we only have spirits onboard).

Anyway after ordering a large quantity of Brandy and Lemonade and being drunk it finally clicked that can a few cans of beer stop a 737-700 gettin off the ground?

Can anyone help me on that one?, was it a load of bo*locks?

OH and by the way "The APU was broken" Was that removed too? ha ha
