I have found a box of Fosters which is over 12 months old. Tastes ok after leaving in fridge for a couple of days. Would you drink it - it was best before March 2011.

its a best before not a use by so will be safe to drink :y
-
Hell yes, get it down your neck! ;D :y
-
Thanks - all my family ditch stuff as soon as - which really p*****s me off - hate to see waste.
Not sure if it is their health they are worried about or a chance for them to put the cans in the recycling.
Anyhow will press on with drinking it

It could make you sick and give you a headache, but that's normal :y
-
I am prepared to risk it 8)
Luckily I do take alcohol well - careful choice of wines means no headaches - vintage Fosters could be a challenge though
-
Av it! :y
Found a 3 year old can of bud once. A very good vintage IMO. ;D
-
Got a dozen or so bottles of Rolling Rock under the stairs around four years old if any ones up for a challenge :D :o

I heard a thing on the radio a while back with the official definitions of these dates from the Food Standards people;
"Best Before" - will not spoil and become toxic, but may lose some flavour/texture after this date, safe to consume past the date.
"Use By" - may spoil and become toxic/cause food poisoning after this date, do not consume.
'course there's a margin of error built into all of these things, too ;) I've been known to use somewhat 'gamey' chicken, for example, and I'm still alive to tell the tale ;D
