I never heard of water going bad.

If it's in the fridge then it is fine. If it is in room temperature, then about 3 hours for bacteria to start to form.

Yes, I would. I'd say that after about six days it goes stale.

Water takes a while to go bad. I would drink bottled water out of the same bottle for probably a week or two. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it yet.

depends on where you live and what season it is. Is it inside or outside. Anyway all you have to do is filter it, b/c water doesn't go flat.

I thought that water never spoils, just like honey.

Water doesn't go bad, maybe stale but not bad, unless it is open and gets warm

personly i never heard of water going bad.if it does i would say it takes a really long time.and yes u can drink it if it had been out for 3 days.my mother is a nurse and she knows alot about tht stuff.

I don't really know. I have a camper in the back yard and I usually sleep in it when I'm working midnights, which happens about one week out of the month. I'll drink two or three sips out of a bottle to wash my mouth out after I get up. That bottle will last me the whole seven midnights.

well ive always heard that water never goes bad, but then again i might be wrong....

look on the container for sealed going bad but for opened i think its the same.

If it's sitting out in the open, already unopened and everything, I probably wouldn't drink it after about 6 hours.

It depends on the bacteria that gets into the bottle as you open it.There is no time period,it also depends on the water temperature.The cooler you can keep it ,the longer it will remain potable.
Of course , as you or a close friend(cos I won't share a bottle with a stranger) drink from the bottle,you deposit bacteria from your mouth.
If you or your friend has,say,cholera,typhoid or the plague or a STD, then this will be passed into the bottle.And I would never keep water in a "frigg".

where do you get this info''
how can water go bad!

it's probably fine, unless you had a cold, fever blister, backwashed into it, or otherwise contaminated the water.

Bacteria require 3 things to live: food, water, and warmth. An opened bottle of water only supplies 1 of those things.

it takes a while if it is in the fridge, it it was sitting out it takes about 2 or 3 days to taste bad.
