Bottled beer lasts 90 days. Kegs 30 days. This is average from almost all beers from all over the world and the countdown starts from the day of fermentation. Beer is made so you can drink it after it's gone bad without even knowing it. It's only when beer gets really old that you notice somethings not right.
Stick to liquor that's been distilled three or four times.

Yes, beer can go bad. Most beers (virtually all lagers and plenty of ales) are better the fresher you drink them. Certain beers can be aged (much like wine) but the success of aging depends on many factors. Beers high in alcohol (i.e., barleywine, imperial stout, Belgian double, Belgian triple, etc.) are the best candidates. Also, highly hopped beers may age more gracefully.

Most beers spoil over time, but not all. The stronger beers do mellow with age.
BTW, beer does not skunk because it was kept in a warm spot. I wish people would stoop writing this.

yes beers can spoil if left exposed after opening and left in room temperature.
most spoiling microorganisms are mesophiles meaning they are capable of multiplying in temperatures ranging from 20-40 degree centigrade
also if beer is left exposed for a period of time, the carbon dioxide incorporated in the beverage will leave the liquid hence giving the beverage oxygen availability which most microbes need to multiply..
CO2 acts as antimicrobial in all effervescent beverages since it's presence is the lack of O2 and availability of O2 is important to microbial growth
