Water takes a while to go bad. I would drink bottled water out of the same bottle for probably a week or two. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it yet.

It depends on the bacteria that gets into the bottle as you open it.There is no time period,it also depends on the water temperature.The cooler you can keep it ,the longer it will remain potable.
Of course , as you or a close friend(cos I won't share a bottle with a stranger) drink from the bottle,you deposit bacteria from your mouth.
If you or your friend has,say,cholera,typhoid or the plague or a STD, then this will be passed into the bottle.And I would never keep water in a "frigg".

I don't really know. I have a camper in the back yard and I usually sleep in it when I'm working midnights, which happens about one week out of the month. I'll drink two or three sips out of a bottle to wash my mouth out after I get up. That bottle will last me the whole seven midnights.

it's probably fine, unless you had a cold, fever blister, backwashed into it, or otherwise contaminated the water.
Bacteria require 3 things to live: food, water, and warmth. An opened bottle of water only supplies 1 of those things.

If it's sitting out in the open, already unopened and everything, I probably wouldn't drink it after about 6 hours.

it takes a while if it is in the fridge, it it was sitting out it takes about 2 or 3 days to taste bad.

Water doesn't go bad, maybe stale but not bad, unless it is open and gets warm

If it's in the fridge then it is fine. If it is in room temperature, then about 3 hours for bacteria to start to form.
