Bearing in mind- I have been pg, bfing, or ttc for past 4 years or so, and therefore teetotal

We have:
A bottle of Grenadine (1/2 left)
bottle of Sake (1/2 left)
Liqueur de Framboise (1/2 left)
Bottle of Absolut (1/2 left)
Bottle of Absolut Vanilla (1/2 left)
Bottle of Cinzano Bianco (4/5 left)
Choya plum wine (1/4)
Choya plum liqueur unopened bottle
bottle of Pimms No1 unopened
Bottle of Pimms No1 with a little left
a Half bottle of Bacardi- unopened
Bottle of Kahlua (1/2 left) but this was purchased in last 12 mo by DH
Captain Morgan rum (!) (7/8 left)
Tequila (1/4 bottle left)
brandy (1/10 left, but I use in cooking so will keep)
2 bottles of cava unopened
a 2006 Chardonnay
a 2006 Valpolicella
a 2004 Vins de pays de Gascogne (this is probably completely rank!)

Malt whiskys:
Scapa 14 yr
Glenfiddich 12 yr
Ledaig
Islay Malt 10 yr
Aberlour 12 yr
Talisker special 15 yr
Ardbeg special- Uigeadal
Old Pulteney 12 yr

Organic ale and organic cider both bought in last 6 months.

I assume the malt whisky will all be fine (plus some are much more recent, as DH often gets for birthday/christmas etc) but what about the rest?

This has inspired me to delve into the back of our drinks cupboard...

I have found:
3/4 bottle cinzano bianco - This is approx 10-11 years old (bought as I was told my step mother drank it - she didn't).

1/2 bottle of Pimm's no 1. No date on the bottle - I think it's at least 7 years old.

and 1/2 a bottle cointreau that was bought (duty free) in the 80's!

Now I hate to throw things away, but I think the time has come... unless people have any better ideas?

Well, keep it until you can have a drop . I went off alcohol for quite a few months when pg with Dd, but once I was ok with it again, I did have an occasional one(or two). Why throw it out. Alcohol is a preservative anyway(except stuff like advocat or Baileys for obvious reasons), so there is no real reason why it'd go off.
