Anybody heard this one?

I was at a social function recently, standing with a group of people
discussing the weather, when someone came up to me an announced that
the Miller beer that I was sipping on contained formaldehyde as a
preservative.  Ostensibly, the formaldehyde serves to protect the
beer since it is sold in clear glass bottles, rather than in brown
bottles.

Naturally, I have switched to hard liquor, since I no longer trust
the contents of any beer - no way will I pickle my innards with
formaldehyde.   Has anyone out there ever heard of any factual
evidence as to the use of formaldehyde in beer (Miller or any other)?
