Poll : : : Does water go bad? - ho'ard - 05-28-2006
I seem to have a collection of started bottled water around.
Packaging water seems like an environmental abomination enough, but throwing it away is even worse.
Can it be drunk after sitting around for months or more?
Thx!!

Ask Paul F. Also check the expiration date.

If it's been opened and backwashed into.. then you probably have a nice colony of sea monkeys in there...
Even I would hesitate to drink it.. (well, unless I was really thirsty...)
If it's still sealed, no.. it won't go "bad". Stale tasting, maybe.. but not "bad".

Water the plants with it.

Spoken like a "pro" of expired items.

Um . . . useful article but doesn't seem to factor in Chicago tap water . . .

Ask Evangeline Lilly aka: Kate from LOST. I saw her on Jay Leno myself, she
actually told this. Probably a little more info than we really need to know.
Not for weak stomachs.
Quote from another forum:
"Lilly was just on Leno, and told a story about how she was driving around with a
male friend(surely Dominic since they're apparently dating or something), and he
needed to take a leak. He used a water bottle. Lilly said his urine was clear like
water. Later on in the day, she had three different water bottles full of water. Or
supposedly water. She apparently didn't remember he had peed in the bottle until
she had already chugged down half of a bottle, which had an odd taste."

water plants with it.
Once your saliva hits the mouth of the bottle, and it gets in the water, it is contaminated. So if it has sat for any amount of time, you don't want to know what can be grown as a culture from the lip of those bottles.
we wash and reuse water bottles a number of times, then recycle them. Brita pitcher is way cheaper than bottled water, and Seattle water is pretty damn nice compared to some of the tap water I have been forced to drink.

Yes.

I still have a couple cases of "Budweiser" water left from the 1994 earthquake, wonder if using it might kill the drinker.
Bud has a brewery about 5 miles from the epicenter and was the first to respond by switching from filling cans with beer to filling them with water which was then distributed through local agencies.
Some would suggest that they didn't have to change to water since thats how their beer tastes anyway, but that would be a cheap shot.
