Is it safe to drink water out of a water bottle that has been sitting there for a week?

Question

I have a water bottle that I opened about a week ago. It rolled under my bed and I just found it today. Is it safe to drink still?

Answer 1

I have many times worried about the same thing lol

Answer 2

I would most deffinatly think so, if it hasnt been opened. If it was opened, i wouldnt drink it. During school i leave water bottles in my locker for afterschool activites just incase i dont have time to run to 7-11. I left one that had been opened in my locker for a week and a half, and it tasted terrible lol.  

Answer 3

The chlorine leaves the water in a couple days, and if anything is in there it will start growing. Safe is a relative term. I would have second thoughts about drinking it, but I drink water that has been in my car for days.

Answer 4

its okay i guess.

but i wouldn't drink it.

water can collect bacteria!

Answer 5

not really cuz bacteria could have grown in it.

Answer 6

Yes it's just water, and the plastic won't break down in one week.

Answer 7

throw it out, better safe than sorry.

its not like you cant afford another (:

Answer 8

It would probably be safer to throw it out because after you drink from a bottle you contaminate it with the bactria in your mouth. With a bottle sitting in a dark area for a week the bactria could of multiplied and making the water unsafe to drink. So, best bet is to throw it out. Get a glass of fresh water and have a great night. God bless!

Answer 9

i'm glad you asked this question; because i have been wondering the same for a long time.

but i guess it's ok to drink it ,after seating there a week.
