How long can you keep a bottle of vodka outside the refrigerator?

Question by spclo23: How long does a bottle of vodka keep outside the refrigerator?
I have had a bottle of vodka in my closet for 4.5 months with no refrigeration. Is it still ok to drink? I have no idea if alcohol needs to be refrigerated! Thanks.
Forgot to mention….I opened it 4 months ago and drank some before I stored it. But the top is on tightly. Is that still ok? It was kinda expensive and I don’t drink often so I’d hate to throw it out…Thanks again guys!

    Vodka will keep well in the bottle irrespective of the fact whether you've opened it, kept it out of the refrigerator and all that stuff…

    neither is it going to age and mature and get better nor is it going to spoil….

    but the best way to store a vodka will be to freeze it.

    All aspects of serving vodka should be bone chilled… that's the way to enjoy it.

    Cheers!!!

    Alcohol does not need to be refrigerated. The ethanol will prevent the bacteria from growing. It's not like orange juice.

    Alcohol is a preserving agent. It does not need to be refrigerated.

    It will be good forever as long as you don't refrigerate.

    Vodka never has to be refrigerated, no matter how many years you've had it nor how many times you opened it in the past…refrigeration is only for preference…so grab some OJ, tip up and enjoy…lol

    Not vodka. It's high alcohol content will keep outside of a fridge for a very very very long time. You've got no worries.

    It'll keep forever – until it evaporates.
