Quick question about liquor

[aka Cthulhu]

So I had a bottle of shochu I bought a few months back. Long story short, I didn't care that much for the taste, and I left it on a cabinet and that was that. I was thinking lately that it would be a waste to not finish, and I was wondering if it's still safe to drink. If not, I might as well toss the contents out and keep the bottle for some sort of purpose.

A Google search (limited thanks to this computer I'm using at work today) sez:

Technically shochu does not have a shelf life since distilled alcoholic beverages are not so high in sugar and/or protein content.

So I take it that means it should be ok.....?

I've never had a problem keeping most liquors at room temperature for prolonged periods of time. You should be good.

If anything, it should be better.

I've drank some of my grandfather's old whiskey from the 70's with no ill effects so you should be good.

Just drink it.

you'll be fine ....................probably

[Krazee]

drink it and get smashed

[AwamoriRock]

It's completely safe.

Shochu mixes well with different types of tea, if you aren't that keen on it. Although sometimes it depends on what type of shochu it is.

Hrm, it's still a bit too dry for my taste. Ah, well. I got crab nuggets (which probably have never seen real crab in their existence), fish balls, and gizzards and fried chicken. Along with the soju, time to relax~

I sometimes have certain liquor bottles that last for a year or two since I only save them for special events

Reminds me of back in high school. At a party this chick was drinking out of an old Coke 2L bottle.

"Where did you find that?"
"On the tool bench"
"That's a mystery bottle. No one knows what's in there. Don't drink that!!!! It's like 8 months old"
"Whatever Cole"

Yea, she drank our of a bottle laying around in the garage for almost a year......she didn't have a good night.

For the record, I am quite nicely drunk right now. Soju, Mango rum, and a bit of the shochu which isn't that bad when I've reached a certain level.

I have a question about liquor too. Now, I know that candy is dandy, but is liquor really quicker?

Depends on how fast you can finish the bottle.
