Is it safe to drink old 40's?!

Question: Is it safe to drink old 40's?

Hi, on new years eve i had bought a few 40's for me and my friend, and my friend wasnt able to finish his second one, and i stopped my second one because of him. I put the cap back on both before I went to bad, they were both about halfway depleted. I don't want these to go to waste, ive had them outside in the cold. I don't remember the exact kind of 40, but it was a malt-liquor beverage. For those unfamiliar with the term "40" it means a 40-ouncer, usually of beer or malt-liqour. Is it safe to consume these, I do not want these to go to waste. I know it won't taste good, like old opened soda, but is it actually safe to drink? It is similar to a "hurricane" and tastes almost the same. And one more question; does malt-liquor freeze, and if so, what is the best process to defrost them? Thank you :)

No health concerns involved just really nasty taste. You can drink'em they'll just taste really bad.

it is safe to consume, but will taste disgusting, because if it actually froze then most of the carbonation will be lost. But if you're looking for a buzz the alcohol should still be there regardless of if it froze or not, as for defrosting just leaving it out at room temperature should do the trick, I wouldn't recommend heating it up.

well it depends on how long they've been outside. Yes they will freeze because they still are a beer and they will usually freeze in the teen's-20's region, and if you live anywhere where you get snow i'm sure its been below zero at least once. If its frozen it should be all right, or below 32 degree's. It will most likely be safe to drink if its stayed below 32 Farenheit but won't be to tasty like you said.

Bottoms up, Rummy!

Its up to you if you like it.

they will be flat, but go for it!
