Would you drink 3 year-old bottled water?
Answers:
It depends-
I'd suggest opening it and pouring it into another cup. Smell the water and smell the bottle. Yes, the smell changes as the quality changes - if you're unaware of the difference then also smell some fresh water. Over time water is capable of getting moldy and if all the natural bacteria weren't killed, then there will be more in it now then there were three years ago. A little shouldn't hurt you though, so the quick check is take a sip and find out.
Really though, water does have a great shelf life and if it's been sealed properly, then it should be fine.
