Question: Should you drink water from a glass that has been out for a day?
Lets say its 10 pm on Tuesday and i get a glass of water and drink a little bit of it and then dont touch it again until I take a drink from it at 10 pm on Wednesday... is there anything bad about that as far a health goes. It is just water and I wouldnt do it with any other drink. Thanks

Water doesn't go bad so to speak. After a few days it can get stuff in it that will grow but most water is treated with chlorine and it takes about 24 hours just for that to evaporate. Your water is fine to drink.



As long as it had been covered to prevent bugs it will be ok, just room temperature.



I wouldn't drink it. Think about what floats in the air that will end up in your glass of water (dust, skin cells etc)
