Liquor does not expire to the point of causing sickness. It simply loses flavor — generally a year after being opened. Beer that goes bad — or flat — won't make you sick but may upset your stomach.
How long do alcoholic spirits last?
Unopened liquor has an indefinite shelf life. Opened liquor lasts about a year or two before it goes bad—meaning it starts losing its color and flavor. Don't use a liquor for well drinks if you won't use the whole bottle within two years. It does not generally become toxic, though.
Do alcoholic spirits have a use by date?
Does alcohol have an expiration date? Alcohol has a 'best before' date rather than a 'use by' date, meaning it is safe to drink past the date on the container. The amount of time it lasts for depends on the type of alcohol.
