Gef

I doubt if it would dissolve the bottle but it would be a bit flat as the carbon dioxide would slowly diffuse away.

Bert

I agree with Gef, but aspen may be thinking of canned lemonade. The weak (citric) acid might attack the metal if there was a weak point in the laquer coating on the inside of the can.

Thank you. I was thinking more of what would happen if say I found a 15 year old lemondae bottle (plastic or tin)- and say the packaging was completely in tact- is there any way the lemonade would dissolve or become mouldly etc.. apart from a stale flat taste, it should / would be still drinkable?
