I have several cans of syrup; lager, bock, IPA, etc... and don't have any white sugar. I want to brew some beer now. can I use 1.5 or 2 cans of syrup instead of 1 can and white sugar as the recipe on the can describes? any body got any ideas?

Yes - using all extract instead of a large amount of sugar will probably make better beer, actually.

Yes use 2 cans. You are the master... Lager and IPA probably will go together well just use the IPA yeast if you are fermenting at ale temps.

Yes, as they already said, use two cans.  The beer will probably be better with that instead of sugar, although the finished product may not be as dry as you want.  The style of beer you're making kind of depends on whether the malt syrup is hopped or not.  If not just figure whatever color looks good for the style you want to brew, using the two cans of malt extract.  If hopped already, try to go for a style that has the bitterness of the combination of syrups and the color they will make.
Or just brew a beer, add hops and ferment it, then name the style.......

At this point "beer" is adequate and there's no need to get caught up in categorizing. LOL
