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.
