many factors depend on this

there are two main types of sterilization that all food and drink manufacturers use. The first is the use of peracetic acid that gives an instant kill to most pathogens (bugs that make you ill). The second is the use of steam. Holding a steam temperature of above 120 degrees in the product line for 15 minutes will kill virtually all pathogens. However, some bacteria form spores which are virtually indestructible and can last for millions of years. The only way to make totally sterile drinks would be to irradiate them, which wouldn't make them radioactive, but would make them cost a great deal of money to produce. Thus, the manufacturer cannot guarantee that their product is free of pathogens and gives it a 'use by' to minimize their liability. Packaging deterioration is the other reason for the "Best By" Date.

Have you ever seen stagnated water? Yes water can go bad just like anything else that gets contaminated. If something gets in the water on the line after it was sterile or even before over time it can get worse and make you sick.

During the bottling process, there are various processes used to clean up the water including filtration and ozonation. If too much ozone was added, the plastic will leach into the bottles. If too little ozone was added, bacteria can start growing immediately.

Water is known as the universal solvent and will absorb almost anything. Its actually better for you to drink tap water than bottle water because florescent lights, the kind of lights that illuminate every convenience store in the world, help grow bacteria.

Tap water also has higher standerds..depending where you live.

Honey stored correctly will not expire.

Water doesn't expire, its a very stable chemical so it doesn't react or get old with anything (that's why its a good soluble).
It also depends on the minerals in the area, some minerals just make water grab some funny flavor, but most of the time is drinkable.
When people feels that water taste strange its because of the minerals in the area... anyways in the US the water on most of the places has clhoride to keep it clean.

No water does not expire however if it sits open for too long it can breed bacteria and even if sealed it can go flat and less oxygenated, which isn't bad for you it just looses that fresh water flavor and can taste a little off (not bad for you though).

According to the internet, even though bottle water has an expiration date, its only to follow the law. It seems that it is fine forever though.

"The Food and Drug Administration says bottled water should have an indefinite shelf life. "

Water doesn't really expire; it can't go stale, however it does taste a little weird if drunk after longer than a month or so.

And it's much safer if you keep to the never-opened bottles if you're going to try for water.

I don't think water can be expired.

No water is like wine. The more it ages the better it is.

Yes it can, but probably not now..not in even in our far future, it might be after 200-300 years from now or something like that! (our grand children's grand children might whiteness it!) , and that is at the worst case!

If its only water (nothing added to it) and nothing has gotten in it, it should be good forever...
