Can cranberry juice ferment?

Question

Hi yesterday my friend drank a lot of cranberry juice for a bet and after he started acting really drunk. It is possible the cranberry juice was really old and it tasted definitely tasted weird so it is possible to have turned into a mild form of alcohol or some other chemical....

Ill give the best answer to someone who explains why he acted like this.

Answer 1

I think the answer is yes if it was organic and /or homemade and had no sulfur or any added enhancers. unpasteurized juice definitely ferments so the FDA now requires all juice to be pasteurized but you can still find it at a few Markets etc. I think it would be virtually impossible to get drunk on Ocean Spray cranberry juice because of the process it goes through.

Answer 2

ya, it's possible. Try this link for more explanation.
