Is it okay to drink expired water?

Answer 1

Normally, water doesn't expire. It isn't always safe to drink, depending on how it is obtained, but purified bottled water that hasn't been opened should be fine. If it wasn't purified and it looks strange, then of course don't drink it.

Safe tap water that someone drank from and then set back on the counter and left for a week could be bad just because someone has been in contact with it, or from other contaminants in the home (cleaning products, etc.). If in doubt, always good to boil it first, or use water purification tablets as needed.

Answer 2

The concett of expired water is an invention of bold water manufacturersLook at the ISS. The astronauts have a complex water system that reclaimdrinkable liquid out of the environment. That leaves astronauts drinking a filtered mixture that includes recycled shower water, old astronaut sweat, and urine.

By comparison the "out of date battled wate " folks want you to be concerned with "chemicals" leaching out of their plastic into the water in the bottle.

Drinking water from a bottle perviously shared with friends may present a problem if they let water backwash from their moths into the bottle, then you store the pre-opened bottle for a log warm period.

In short - water in unopened bottles does not expire.

As an aside - water in bottles has been found to be contaminated by sloppy manufacturing processes. You are generally better off drinking good quality tap water.

The thing about bottled water is the plastic begins to break down into the water. This isn't good for you and doesn't taste too great either.
