well, the standards for the cleanliness of these bottles is measured to a low degree, and so these expiration dates are there because the bottles and cans are acknowledged as being only clean to a degree, and so after this time, the bacteria, fungus and even algae that are already living in the bottles and cans when they were filled and sealed, could have grown to a dangerous or at least distasteful proportion. Of course that is a big if.... think of the expiration dates as security deposits for the companies in case some of these 'expired' bottles should become infectious. But still companies spend millions of dollars a year taking back expired cans and bottles as "out of code" stock, and there are rigorous fines imposed on companies or retailers who have 'out of code' products on the shelf.

Wait, I keep Gin and Brandy in plastic bottles. Is this still an issue?

drink it all up before it's ruined!

In the decades before the widespread use of bottled water, the human race was in imminent danger of extinction.

Saving it for when I'm with friends. Shouldn't the alcohol prevent fungus from growing etc?

we had to get a home water desalinizer and purifier in here, our water is terrible. very very hard and limey...
the guy did some tests on the water and proved that our water was borderline heath risk so we got the equipment installed.....

he also did a test with a bottle of evian bottled water that i bought a mere 2 hours before, still sealed... IT WAS WORSE THAN OUR TAP WATER!

My house we have a well from a natural spring, and we use a salt filtration system. We have damn good water.

I want some! Sydney water tastes horrible.

im thinking of the plastic & the alcohol having a weird chemical reaction

The water from my fridge is pretty rad.
