Is drinking water stored in a bottle for couple of days safe?

[Anonymous]

is it safe to drink drinking water stored in pet bottles for more than 2-3 days?

safe

not safe

It's not really good because of carbon dioxide levels in the water which lower the pH. It goes up the longer it's there. It changes by the hour let alone day. Ok it's not gonna make you keel over and die when you take a sip, but it's still not great for you.
See that weird taste you get when you drink water that's been left for a day? That's from bacteria from changing ph and chlorine.
From a plastic bottle is even worse because of chemicals that leech into the water.

Best to change often**

[SomeGuy37]

Seriously? You post these OUTRIGHT LIES? Sounds like you have a career waiting, at F&^'s NEWS!!
Everything you posted is SOOOOOO wrong, and so inaccurate!!
So it lowers the pH, then it raises it? How? Do you even know what pH means?
I love the part: "Changes by the hour," and then the part about 'keel over and die'!!
You make a funny, but sad joke, posting this nonsense!!
I've drank bottled water that was in a plastic bottle for ten years, and NEVER had one little problem!! Why? Because what you say DOESN'T HAPPEN!!
I've refilled plastic bottles, HUNDREDS of times, OVER MONTHS, and NEVER had any issues, no illness, and I guess I didn't 'keel over and die' because I can post this, and tell you how WRONG you are!!

@SomeGuy37 I meant bacteria goes up. And said you WON'T keel over and die. I drink plastic bottled water too, I said it's not good left there for how long op asked. At least read properly. Google is helpful, so use it.

[SomeGuy37]

Then get your posts right! Not everything you read on the internet is right! I'm a biologist, and I studied this sht! Rinse the bottle out, each time you use it, and you won't have any problems.

[Opinion Owner]

@SomeGuy37 then you'd know plastics have different numbers and you should absolutely not reuse some. You'd also know how much bacteria loves plastic and how well it can breed. If you'd really leave your bottle for days and continue drinking from it, you're quite nasty. Especially since you apparently know so much about it.

[SomeGuy37]

Most bacteria have a hard time living on plastic, as they cannot metabolize it! The traces of the 'chemicals' that you think you know about don't really leach out and cause any issues!
Stop reading stupid internet fear-mongering blogs!! Go get a science degree and decide for yourself, rather than following like a little lamb, and believing all the BS they feed you!! You have to question, and know when they are slanting the results of studies, and WHO PAYS FOR THE STUDIES!
That weird taste has NOTHING to do with bacteria. Many municipalities chlorinate the water to purify it, and if you put it in a completely sterile bottle, and leave it, the chlorine naturally diffuses out, and you get that smell.
Some plastics shouldn't be microwaved, but refilling water bottles won't hurt you at all. Just hang it up, honey, and talk about something you actually know about. This science is obviously beyond your comprehension. Sorry. . .

@SomeGuy37 yea, WHO and all the water companies and all the health bodies are all in on it. I love the capitals so you could make sure I read that. Yes, it's all a huge conspiracy. Take off the tinfoil hat my friend.
And so what if many bacteria can't live there, many bacteria still can. And the taste is not there when you first have the water for a reason. Common sense will tell anybody that water left sitting in a plastic bottle for 2/3 days is not great and fresh water is better. If you're seriously telling me you'd fill a plastic, or any bottle for that matter, on a Monday and still be drinking it by Wednesday, then like I said, nasty.

[SomeGuy37]

Get an education, and stop reading BS on internet posts from other people who don't know anything! Plastic bottles, being reused, is your cause, and you fight it, with no statistics, no knowledge, nothing but some internet nonsense?
Sure, why not make BILLIONS more bottles that can get thrown into the seas or left here and there!! don't we have a better use for the plastics, than making more bottles for those that are too pretentious, and perfect to reuse a bottle, because, Oh, there might be bacteria?
Reality check, babe, YOU EAT TRILLIONS of bacteria, every day, and many of those keep you healthy and functional!
I suppose you LOVE 'Antibacterial' soaps, too!!
But then, you posted 'Anonymous'. Was that because you are afraid to post, as you, because you know that this is all nonsense?
No more time for you. Hope you have a good life with your confused ideas about reality!!

[Opinion Owner]

@SomeGuy37 you keep taking this shit, but refuse to answer if you'd really keep water in the bottle for a few days then still drink it instead of getting fresh water. You know you wouldn't, you just felt like talking shit for no reason. Then you come with your conspiracy shit. Dude, you sound crazy, so f off.

[SomeGuy37]

And you apparently can't read! I posted, before that I refill, and drink, repeatedly, for 2-3 days, and no issues. I even posted that I reuse the same bottle for a month, with no bad issues.
Go ahead and talk all kinds of crap, and because you resort to just name-calling, and being abusive, you have to know that I am right, being so defensive!!
I AM LAUGHING at your ignorance!!
Live your false ideas, little one. I will pray for wisdom, and guidance, for your ignorant soul.
You just sound like an idiot, posting all this nonsense!

[Opinion Owner]

@SomeGuy37 as I said. Would you drink the same water. Repeatedly you've proven you can't read now. Right from the very first reply, where you made shit up that I didn't even write. So with the not being able to read and answer the actual question about water not a bottle, along with the crazy conspiracy theory that all the health orgs and WHO are all making it up, you are the one who sounds like an idiot. Everybody has it wrong apart from you.
I'll ask one more, don't know how much more simple I can make it though - would you fill a bottle of water up on Monday, and by Wednesday still be drinking the same water?

[Opinion Owner]

Nd I just read your reply. You actually are thick. Dude is asking about WATER and you talking about a bottle. I'm saying change water often it's not good etc and you're telling me you change your water but you reuse the same bottle so I'm wrong. Seriously, you're actually backwards. I don't believe you have any qualifications at all, anybody can say they do online. If you do, I believe it's from an online "school" that you start and finish within a month or some bs.

[SomeGuy37]

Openly LAUGHING at your total IDIOT POSTS!!! Capitals, for sure, so you read it!! You keep coming back with nonsense replies, and I just love how you make yourself look like the IGNORANT FOOL you are!! Get some education, and don't be such an IDIOT!!!
But thanks, for making me laugh!! I love when idiots just ramble nonsense. . .
You have been the BEST, so far!!

[BellePepper]

It depends on how clean the water and the bottle are.

[wankiam]

for humans or pets? humans have little tollerance to 'dirty water' whereas animals can drink from muddy puddles or dirty stream with no problems a their bodies can cope with it

[SomeGuy37]

Tap water? A bottle you have drank from before? 2-3 days, NO PROBLEM!!

[Asker]

but then what about the anonymous girl's answer?

[SomeGuy37]

Do you mean the 'Junior NON-SCIENTIST' that got everything TOTALLY wrong with talking about pH and Carbon dioxide? Don't what she is talking about, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO SCIENCE to it!! Maybe she works for a company that makes bottled water, and they NEVER, EVER want you to refill their bottles, from OMG!! NOT TAP WATER!!! Isn't that just 'Toilet Water?"
Everything she said is nonsense, and the pH change, the carbon dioxide levels are so small, even over weeks of refilling plastic water bottles, with Municipal TAP water as so small, as to be nearly impossible to measure, unless they are pulling from well water that has issues!!
I have NEVER, EVER gotten sick, in any way, from refilling, and drinking from the same plastic water bottle, even over a MONTH!!!
She must be working for a water company trying to sell more bottles, that kind of just mess up the environment!!

[Asker]

lol... k... but i'm not asking about using the same plastic bottle. what i'm asking is if u drink the same drinking water that was filled in the bottle 2-3 days ago.

[SomeGuy37]

I reuse the same bottle, having one by my bed, and two at my desk at work, and I reuse them for months, sometimes!! NEVER, EVER had any issues with illness, or 'poisoning' or carbon dioxide, or anything like that!
The BEST investment, I EVER made, was in my degree in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry!! I KNOW when people are talking nonsense, and the sad thing, really, is even when you show them the SCIENCE that says they are wrong, they ignore it, and perpetuate the MYTH to others that don't know!! That is just FRAUD, as far as I am concerned, and DEFINITELY LYING!!
But, they say the same BS on the 'News' so it must be true, right?

[JustADude20026]

You realize... Water doesn't go out of date, right? Lmfao

[jacquesvol]

Safe for adults.
Safe for babies if kept in a fridge.

[tattooedhandfet]

Who is drinking this water?
Human or an animal?

[Schrodingerscat]

It is safe👍
