If you’ve ever heard someone talk about a beer being skunked, they’re referring to it having gone bad. Happens more easily than you’d think and especially with beer, where the Abv isn’t really high
Skunked beer is from oxidation of hop compounds, not biological spoilage. Beer can be contaminated with undesirable microbes but the dangerous ones can't grow in the low pH and alcoholic (even when it's low abv) environment.
I interpreted it as why would you drink a beer that was in a comprised container and tasted weird.
I mean it's alcohol, idk how bad it can really be even in a compromised container.
