Two months ago, a lab tech, new to our building, asked me to dispose of a nearly full, 10 gallon container of 190 proof ethanol. She said the expiration date had passed. I thought, that shit goes bad?
So, I moved it out of the yellow, steel cabinet to an off-site location. As kfortune would have it, I also have several mature aloe vera plants. Will trade for vintage guitars or badass weed.
It is hydroscopic - that is - it absorbs water from the atmosphere - but - if in a sealed container it should not be an issue...
If it is in a poly container, some of the material will eventually dissolve into the alcohol, and it is no longer reagent grade. Still fine for cleaning hands (suitably diluted), but
probably not OK for drinking.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Flour, meat, cooking oil, yellow cornmeal and the fucking toilet paper.
But seriously, after this shitstorm ends, I wish that some scientist will do a study and tell us why did people start buying fucking toilet paper.

Wally Worlds out of milk. Even faux milk. It's truly end times.

One of the local dairies is out of beer. THAT is the end times.

Good catch. Fixed.
I'm surprised the lack of alcohol hasn't caused a riot of some sort.

Surprised that you mentioned it, actually. I never, EVER point out inconsequential typos or grammatical errors. Don't believe me? Ask Brian.
