I would imagine bottled beverages would have a good shelf life. Now this
does assume that they are kept in good conditions, not too hot, and not
frozen, but if they are kept in "A cool, dry place" i'd bet you could
get as much as 15 to 25 years out of one, mor likely the cans and not
the bottles. I think the bottles seal would break down and the contents
would spoil. I also would like to note that this makes no consideration
for the freshnes of the contents, as I imagine that even after 2 years
or so they would likely become flat and not nearly as 'lisious as they
were when they were new.

I don't remember where I read / heard it, but IIRC it is a gasoline like
fuel made in some part by Ghost Rock. How a Rock becomes a liquid fuel I
have no idea, but as has been posted much in recent weeks, I guess we
gotta wait for The Wasted West, wherein, hopefully, this and other HoE
mysteries will be finally laid to rest. 

Me? I can't wait to find out what happened to Hellstrome. And What's up
with the loonies over at the combine. And maybe some more weapons and
edges and hiderances like in tQ&tD. And the fate of the indian nations.
