Is it safe to drink a tall boy that's been sitting on a shelf for the past 14 years?

Question

I 'm being hounded by some co-workers to drink this can of beer that has been sitting in their office since 1993.
Beer and me go way back. -but as of recently we've split ties.
We don't see each other as much lately and I'm usually left with a headache instead of any kind of a buzz now a days.
To drink a tall boy from 1993 would mean a whole lot to me.
I started my senior year of high school that year.
It would be like a trip back into time.
I broke my leg at the end of 1993.
Maybe if I drink that beer I can take back my 1994 - 'the year of the cast.'

Answer 1

ummm define "safe".....nothing that can kill you can survive in the ph and alcohol environment of beer, stuff that can make you feel like you are dying can.

Most beers, especially those made 14 years ago and bottled in tall boys, are not designed to be aged. It doesn't sound like this was aged properly anyways.

So long as you know it will probably taste awful and give you a headache, I say go ahead. You'll have a funny story.

Answer 2

Grow a pair buddy ... you are drinking up a piece of history. I have a can of Miller Lite from 1993 myself with a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Championship Logo on it. If I knew that the 'Boys would get back to the bowl if I drank it I would down it in a heart beat. Heck, I might drink it anyway because I want to feel more manly after reading your question!

Answer 3

My nephew went by this too. He constantly felt shorter than something of the boys, and likely, he became. he's exceptionally much 30 right this moment, and extremely tall, over six ft. His mom and pop are a minimum of four inches shorter than he's. each and each technology looks to get taller than the final. My mum and dad have been 5'6" and 5'10". My brother is 6'2". Boys many times proceed transforming into until eventually they attain 21; women until eventually they attain 18. and childrens are many times taller than their mum and dad -- 9 circumstances out of ten. So i might assume you will proceed transforming into for the subsequent 9 years, and that i does no longer be taken aback in case you reached as much as 5'8-10". do you comprehend your peak at age 2? if so, you could double that and it tells you what your grownup peak would be. possibly your mom wrote it on your toddler e book???

Answer 4

no... let it go.

beer don't age like wine for many reasons. the sugars.. grains.. hops don't like to be left to soak in the alcohol for so long... the salts of the beer may have settled... along with other elements..

all the sulfites.. other chemicals in it.. the beer will be sour nasty.. the cap doesn't have the sealing power like corks in general.

beer's meant to be absorbed while it is crisp fresh!

like a apple! while it's still fresh from the 'tree'... well in this case from the brewery.

good chance it will taste like old pickles and the alcohol gravity will be all evaporated.

Answer 5

Not only is it safe, you would be negligent in your duty as a member of the human race if you wasted a good can of beer. I you not blogbaba enough to drink warm beer, put it on ice for a couple hours and drink up.

Answer 6

Probably not. Open it and see - it will be like treacle, and will taste foul, and you will have destroyed a nice memento - tell the boys to piisss off and go buy you a real, fresh beer

Answer 7

Get somebody to ice down your beer of choice and then throw that thing on the pire and drink it down, bro.

Answer 8

Beer is a food product- it is not the same as wine or liquor. It might make you very sick.

Gary is funny!

Answer 9

Down it dude. Be a real man. And wipe your chin off and tell your buds "nice doing bidness with you boys"

Yep.

Answer 10
