liquor doesn't go bad, right?

[Skip Intro]

[sakabatou]

1. Yes it can

At least by taste (skunky beer).

[eShirl]

2. no, the high alcohol content is fatal to microorganisms

beer and wine, however, can go bad

[Moondog]

3. Generally not. One exception that I know of - Cognac.

It will lose a lot of the olfactory wonderfulness and some of the taste over time. Best to consume it in a month or less after opening.

[undeterred]

4. Glad to meet someone else who has asked that question.

People laugh.

[TheManInTheMac]

5. No, but why risk it?

:beer:

[dimbear]

6. Eventually the alcohol all evaporates, making it rather pointless.

We're talking in centuries here, of course.

[jmowreader]

7. Yes it does. Especially 20-year-old Scotch.

So, if you have any 20-year-old Scotch that may have sat around for too long, send it to me for proper disposal.

9. You beat me to it ...

But if there's old bourbon laying around, send it on to me!!!!

:hi:

8. Not around my house...

10. Last time I was at Republican Stepdad's, I took a few nips from a quart bottle of Tanqueray

That's right, a quart bottle. Of English gin. Which meant it had to have been made before the UK converted to the metric system. And yet here I am, big as life. :-)

11. what about Kahlua and Bailey Irish Cream?

I would imagine they would go bad. (but who has it around long enough to find out?)

[jmowreader]

14. The company that makes Baileys says 30 month shelf life

As you said, though, who keeps it 30 months?

[Bucky]

12. It makes me go bad, so it's probably bad to begin with.

[mcollins]

13. Wine does, or were you thinking the hard stuff.

Beer can go bad, too.

[pitohui]

15. no it lasts for decades, maybe even centuries, why?

you building a bomb shelter? frankly a bottle of quality stuff is lucky to last 2 months around my house

[old mark]

16. Back when I was drinking , it never got the chance.....nt

[BOG PERSON]

17. liquor is forever

one of the benefits of liquor is that it will never reject you

[BOG PERSON]

18. another benefit of liquor

liquor won't leave you because of your drinking problem.

[trof]

19. Candy is dandy, but...

It'll go 'bad'.
Booze is forever.
'Struth, my lad.

20. I have a bottle of Canadian whiskey bottled on the day I was born

almost 60 years ago. I will open it to celebrate the day my first Grandchild is born.
