Is it safe to drink smirnoff ice that has been sitting in my hot car?

I bought a six pack of smirnoff ice and its been in my trunk for a few days and it's hot as hell here. Its still safe to drink right? I do plan on chilling it prior to drinking, but no harm done? They haven't been opened.

I'm just double checking. if I recall correctly I've drank unrefrigerated malt beverages before. But it would be a real bummer if me and my friends got sick of a couple drinks lol

Seeing as it's high volume alcohol bacteria most likely hasn't built up in it. It's fine to drink. May not taste the best unless you cool it back down for a day or two but it should be fine.

It's fine don't worry.

How do you think they are shipped? Most of those trucks aren't refrigerated. In other words it is fine.

[Asker]

Okay. Its been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit here so I was a little worried

Don't worry about it. It's alcohol, it doesn't go bad.

[Asker]

Even with a low alcohol content?

[musicbrain5]

Yeah

Cool, thank you.

You won't get sick, but you're certainly not doing your taste buds any favors! :)
