Basically they don't. A clarification of terms. Decompose is usually reserved for organic materals being educed by microorganisms. A drink can is made of metal so t is not attacked by microorganisms.

A drink can is however attacked by water and oxygen from the air. The effect is the same as decomposition. Steel cans rust and corrode away over a fairly short period if exposed to air and water, especially if they have the protective coat is scratched or damaged. Aluminum cans are much more refractory and can last for hundreds of years. This is caused by the "rust" or oxide coat on aluminum being mpervius to air and water, Iron rust is porous so the air and water can reach fresh metal.
