If the bottle is tightly capped-- years and years and years- longer than you will lve.
Perhaps you are referring to distilled water in a glass bottle- eventually the glass will dissolve enough to cause some measurable impurities, but you could still drink it without any harm.

And how long it takes depends on how hot it is, what the humidity of the air into which it's evaporating is, and whether the air is moving or not. Drying clothes on a hot windy day will be a lot quicker than on a cold, still, damp day. You surely know that, yet you asked the question!
