Distilled alcohol does not go bad, teenagers add water to it to hide their depredations.
I have close to 30 various 1.5 liter bottles, a bunch of fifths and liqueur bottles, a dozen pints, some airline bottles, it would be useful in a period of national emergency.
A “life-changing cocktail”?
That would almost always be a bad thing.
Or, even during a non national emergency.🥸
We can’t seem to keep liquor in our house for any length of time, so this article, while informative, is totally useless in my situation. 🤣
Grain alcohol and rainwater....
Water doesn’t go bad either.
My grandad never worried about vodka going off, it never lasted that long with him.
C2H5OH in comestible substances is bad from the get-go, IMHO.
What I have learned as an octogenarian is that ethanol is a toxin, a deadly poison, and those who ingest it are fools, as I had been. People find excuses to use it as a recreational substance, but any amount of it drunken makes one in-toxic-ated. It kills living cells in direct contact with this chemical.
Under certain controlled circumstances when administered medically it can be beneficial enough to temporarily offset its life-killing properties, but over the long haul its use kills not only one's living cellular tissues, but also afflicts relationships with animals, other humans, as well as with the Creator of both flesh and spirit, The One Who advises otherwise.
One needs no excuse to exclude it or the people who use it (as I once did, regrettably) from one's life experiences. But the reasons are plentiful, as a truly wise person completely understands and agrees.
Sealed bottles last long enough.
Once opened, they loose their zip.
Those last few pops of a long-lived shelf queen taste nasty.
Any Bartender worth his Spirits will agree.
Buy volumes that fit your consumption.
Pints, Fiths etc for you teetotalers.
My experience is that alcohol goes bad between my stomach and my brain causing stupid sh!t.
No, you're right, water does not go bad. However, when I was a teenager, I was at a friends house when his mom threw out the vodka because "it went bad. It "went bad" because it was over 80% water. We laughed so hard later.
Not a concern in m6 household...hiccup
Now that’s a way to spoil any spirit. Funny, too.
When I use to travel to China, I’m convinced that a drink or two at dinner often helped to keep the some form of illness away.
Hey Headline-Writer!
How do you know what I “need to know”, you ignorant slut? How about you learn to write a headline that accurately summarizes the article? Does that take too many neurons?
I have a half full half gallon of Vodka in my shed. I use it to clean grease off of tools, and when my wife tees off on me... It does a good job tempering foul moods.
