I found some tinnies in my drawer at work (!) that were a year gone. Had them anyway, they were fairly nasty - very hoppy flavour.

felt fine, other than the taste.

After Peaty won his rainbow stripes in September, I sparked open a can of lager he'd signed for me in 2006. I was fine afterwards.

It's sealed in a bottle/can isn't it?

it'll be perfectly fine
A lot of lagers were made exactly the same long before they had sell by dates, I don't think they ever hurt anyone I know - not from being a year or so old anyway

2 christmases ago we found a load of ancient stella up the back of a cupboard and drank it, then got in a fight, had a kebab then threw up, and spent the whole next day lying in bed whimpering. So I assume it was fine.

+1

No idea here but if it was me I'd assume its fermentated further so potentially stronger. In anyway your liver is going to have to deal with it. On that note- not a chance.

Bin in and stop being a tight wad!
