If it has a BORN ON date is was never good to drink

Some of these responses are entertaining. Yes!, beer does go bad. Beer is made with hops for a reason besides just aroma and bitterness. Hop oils are a natural preservative for beer and the amount of hops used can dictate how long the beer will be good for. Budweiser is not a hoppy beer and beers that don't have a lot of hops will only last between 3-6 months (depending on storage conditons). Beer goes bad. So no, it is not still good to drink.

It won't be any worse than it was when it left the brewery.
The reason it is still there is because it never was good beer.

To be on the safe side, drive down to your local skid row
and give a can to one of the gents lying in a doorway.
If he lives, drink it.

Yes of course it is alcohol never goes bad lol.

well if it was born on feb of 2003 then yes it is still safe to drink
