Comment on Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?

Alcohol can’t expire, expiration is a part of how it’s made. In most of these cases the expiration date is actually for the container.
If the container looks fine and nothing has gotten into it, it’s no more dangerous to you than alcohol normally is. Same goes for vinegar and many other similar things. For example honey can’t go bad in a sealed bottle, but the bottle can degrade and let things in.

This is not exactly true, alcohol can become vinegar if exposed to oxygen, and I doubt those bottles are properly hermetically sealed.

I was more referring to food safety, as neither vinegar nor acetobacter won’t make you sick. Unpleasant, sure, but safe to drink.
