> [@Taipan](#): > > As it turns out, this beer had been left on the deck since Christmas, a single can of the exact same stuff I’m drinking. That’s over 3 weeks of exposure to the elements, wildlife and city smog. It tasted awful, totally flat and watered down. I really have no idea what could have been in that sip. I believe that’s the exact receipe for brewing Blue Ribbon. If you’d wiped your mouth with your shirt: Pabst smear. ---

The other morning I got up at 4:30am to do some work early, and I reached into the fridge for a Diet Coke to start my morning. Never have I been more disgusted to take a gulp of fresh, frosty beer! ---

Isn’t that how everyone starts their mornings? 😕 (wink) So hey OP, are you still alive, get the major shits, eyes start bleeding, _what?!_ Posterity needs to be informed as to whether drinking month old, exposed beer is still drinkable. ---

Better than bongwater, I’d suppose. ---

I’ll never forget the time I grabbed the bottle of orange juice in the fridge and took a swig, realizing only as it entered my mouth how long it had been since I’d bought orange juice. It was _fizzy_. Orange juice isn’t fizzy! Bleah! Argh! Ptui! ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > I’ve also set a beer down for awhile, come back to take a big swig only to end up with a highly inebriated cockroach in my throat. Gawd you gotta love living in the deep south. You cannot even begin to imagine the horrified and disgusted face I just made reading this. Seriously. Calvin never pulled a better face, even on picture day. ---

My first thought upon reading the thread title was, “That was probably Jagermeister.” > [@Mahaloth](#): > > Still though, surprise beer is still beer.

Orange juice isn’t fizzy! Bleah! Argh! Ptui! Now that you mention it, I have a half-bottle of V-8 in the 'fridge that’s been there since before Thanksgiving. I’m afraid to even open it to pour it down the drain. :shudder: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oh-god-what-did-i-just-drink/525511.md?page=1)
