According to reports, a significant portion of food waste is tied to consumers discarding products past their labeled dates, yet the safety risks of consuming expired drink packets vary widely based on the drink type and labeling.

According to food safety experts, perishable beverages like opened coconut water should not be left at room temperature for more than two to four hours. Therefore, if you are asking, "Can I drink coconut water that's been left out overnight?", the simple and safest answer is no, you should discard it to avoid potential health risks.

Food safety experts generally advise against consuming perishable items left at room temperature for extended periods, and that includes old lemon water. The acidity of lemon does offer some preservation benefits, but it does not make it immune to bacterial growth over time, which can lead to stomach upset.
