It all depends on how cold it was when you bought it, but usually about an hour or so.

Its kind of like any food that can stay fresh unrefridgerated (like applesauce). It has preservatives (sometimes natural, sometimes artificial) but it will spoil eventually. AKA "skunk beer".
If it is unopened beer should be ok for about 100 days. It might be good longer depending on the brand, but 100 days is a safe bet.

It all depends on the amount of alcohol in the beer. Regular, mass produced beers like Bud, Molsen or Bass range from 4.0% to 6.0%. And they'll keep for about two years because they are pasteurized. Once you get above 7.0% your beers will keep longer. As long as they're kept in a cool dry place. Remember, beer is always best when fresh. Happy New year, friend!

Beer is a product that tastes best when it is fresh. After two months the beer starts to lose it taste, but it will not spoil. Beer does not spoil, in the sense that it will make you sick, it is just that the longer it sits on the self the taste starts to go off.

If you're storing beer, keep in a room temperature, dry place. A bottle of beer lasts 90 days from the day of bottling. A keg lasts 30 days. These are what the breweries say, but ask yourself, how long does bread last?

As long as it's sealed, it will stay carbonated.
BUT, if it goes from hot to cold to hot. or cold to hot to cold, it will be ruined as far as taste goes. Yes, many liquor stores and other retailers do not abide by this rule. The beer comes to them on a refridgerated truck, and then whatever doesn't fit in the cooler, goes on the floor. If you don't believe me, try it. Leave a cold beer out until it reaches room temperature, then re-refridgerate it. Then, drink a beer that has been cold, and the re-refridgerated one and you'll taste the difference.

if you bought it room temp, and keep it at room temp, it could keep for about 6-8 months. But, if it gets too warm, or is refrigerated and then taken out of the fridge, it will go bad very quickly.

if unopened, it doesnt matter how long its left out. if opened, i guess until the fizz goes away. be careful because the yeast may multiply and could be harmful if too old

It will stay fresh until it expires. As long as it doesn't get cold then warm, then cold, then warm again. It will get skunked. It will taste like it's spoiled.
