Vodka and beer have an indefinite shelf life, right?

Well, it doesn't, but I'm sure you were joking. But, hey, here's an interesting tidbit: Veterinarians often use very high-proof vodkas (esp. Everclear) on dogs that have drunk antifreeze.

Okay, maybe it wasn't interesting. I just wanted to post something.

Ethilic alcohol (the alcohol in drinks) is antidote for antifreeze, and also for methanol (methilic alcohol).

P.S. I started going to medical school. Until now, I went at 3 courses in 2 months :D

I have a question too: What is the difference between dark rum and clear rum and dark tequila and clear tequila? Do they mix the same in drinks?

Dark rum is full bodied and has a richer flavor.

Unless someone mentioned this. BEER DOESNT LAST FOREVER!!! Actually if its kept warm out of the fridge for a while your fine but beer cant be put in the frindge then taken out and put back in. Basically it will go bad if it goes from cold to warm then cold again

As will almost all food products. It is known as temperature abuse.
