I think I just accidently made alcohol
I drink these carbonated 100% fruit juice drinks called izzes. I opened a bottle, drank half of it and left it out with the cap loosely on about a month ago. Today I go to throw it out. It reeks of alcohol. I want to taste it but am very afraid. What's the possibility of me getting sick/hurt by drinking it?

if you boil it first your chances of getting sick go waaaaay down.

You also boil off the alcohol.

Even if it doesn't make you sick, it will most likely taste really bad. You obviously got some wild yeast into it, but there's a good chance that some mold or bacteria also got into it, which will either taste bad or make you sick. |

Better idea
You could filter-sterilize it to get rid of the bacteria/yeast/etc while keeping the alcohol. Or, if you have access to a chem lab, you could distill off the alcohol and drink only that.
