How much bacteria will grow in a bottle of Lemonade?

Refrigerating it in between, right? That would not be bad. If not refrigerated, you are playing Russian roulette with germs.

Given sufficient resources, population growth is exponential and pretty much unlimited until it bangs into to something.

Not a lot, since lemonade is acidic, it’s know to kill bacteria, so yeah.

Room temp. haha, I actually felt something in my stomach afterwards. Feeling great today though. But hey, what doesn’t kill you.. Right?

Hot water and lemon juice will help clean the toxins out…perhaps if you’ve been sipping on a bottle of unrefrigerated juice for a week.

@MissA That’s nonsense. Your liver and your kidneys and your GI tract clean the toxins out, and need no assistance.

Also, isn’t this the same bacteria that was already in your mouth before? I don’t see how that’s a problem then.

@dpworkin You’re absolutely correct…IF they are functioning well. I wasn’t clear…when you liver, especially is overloaded, the lemon juice and hot water really can help.

@gorillapaws Of course it can be a problem, if you consume a whole boat load of the bacteria at once.

the lemon saves you, but if it were apple juice…....

Not enough for most people to be concerned with.

Drinking straight from it isn’t really the issue because the top of the bottle was reasonably sealed by the cap of the bottle (assuming the manufacturer complies with the normal hygiene standards). The issue would be licking the rest of the bottle which was potentially touched by other people.
