"Alcohol Use-By Dates..."

Do they mean anything? I've just found some really lovely looking cider in the larder with a use-by date in 1998... drinkable?

Pfft. Anyway, all was fine in the end. Moral of the story is... umm... hope everything works out?

I have no idea what I was saying.

Anyway, beer/cider etc is usually only 5-6% alcoholic volume, but it doesn't kill it until it's 13% volume.

I've no idea what I was saying about it being poisonous though, seeing as all spirits are uslaly 40% volume +

But what about the fact that apple does go off after time...surely that would have some bad effect after 7 years?

I once drank two year past-use-by date Babycham.

It had lumps in and tasted of rotten Stilton. :(

Maybe it was a Ski yogurt

I had the foulest tasting beer once.

Not sure what was up with it.

It was regular beer.

Beer tastes foul.

Good point, but I don't know what it tasted like originally so can't pass comment on whether it degraded taste-wise.
