Doctor's answer:

Generally, bottled mineral water has a shelf life of one year, while mineral water has a shelf life of one month. However, after being opened, the mineral water is no longer guaranteed by the above, and should be consumed as soon as possible. There are approximately 5,000 bacteria in one cubic meter of air (not pathogenic bacteria). Over time, bacteria will adapt and grow, affecting the safety of drinking water. Therefore, opened mineral water should be consumed quickly and not left to stand for too long. It is best to drink it on the same day, as by the third day, due to rapid opening and exposure to air, it can be affected. Whether it is mineral water or tea, it is best to drink it as little as possible after it has stood overnight.
