Without interference from or interaction with external contaminants, methanol will not deteriorate or decompose, thus the shelf life would be indefinite. Problems arise if the product is not protected from exposure to contamination, including exposure to the atmosphere. http://www.methanex.com/products/faqs.html I have had methanol in a barrel for 22 months and it tested the same as the day it was put in the drum. Joe Without Data, you’re just another guy with an opinion.

That doesn't sound right to me, unless it has absorbed an enormous amount of water. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
