Alcohol?

[catcora]

I was drinking this beer tasting soda, and turns out it’s got (0.6%~1.0%) vol of alcohol. I was distracted and my cat was walking around on my desk- if he were to lap a bit from the top of the can- even though the alcohol is low, can that much hurt my cat if he were to have licked the top of the can?

The ingredients are “Water, Barley Malt, Rice, High Fructose Syrup, Hop Extract, Flavouring, Yeast, Propylene Glycol Alginate”

I can't speak to quantity of ethanol that is dangerous, but I looked this up, which seems to provide a lot of information:

Ethanol Poisoning in Cats - Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, Recovery, Management, Cost

I personally wouldn't worry about my cat lapping a little bit from the top of such a low-ABV beverage, unless he exhibited symptoms described in the above article. Just a few laps is probably a very low amount of ethanol.
