So I opened a new bottle of spicy V8 last night around 8 pm and forgot to refrigerate it promptly as it says on the bottle. Did I waste a whole bottle or can I take my chances and still drink all of it? I put it in the fridge now atleast.

I'm no doctor but I'd still drink it. 🤷🏾‍♂️
I imagine the worst thing that could happen is a little bubble guts.

Oh yeah.. As a V8 drinking expert. Just chill it back up you'll be fine. You can drink it warm but it's not the same. All the same it's not bad.

Just make sure you chill and shake it up

Most products like that nowadays being left out overnight it won't spoil that easily. The sodium in it alone would prevent it from being spoiled in that short amount of time. Just refrigerate it again and have it later.

It's basically a bottle of salt isn't it?

Also not a doctor but if it smells, looks and tastes okay, it's probably still okay.

Pretty unlikely to *unknowingly* poison yourself with spoiled beverages these days.

V8 is great. As is Clamato. Put in some hot sauce, some fresh cracked pepper, maybe some horseradish.

I personally wouldn't try it myself. But hey, it's your intestines.

Nah you'll be fine. If all you did was open the bottle and then put the cap back on and left it out it shouldn't be a big deal. And like others have said, it's not going bad overnight with that salt content.

Most juices say drink within a week after opening. No way I'm drinking that much juice in a week and I've never been sick from finishing it much later.

The product itself is shelf stable at the grocery store so even after being exposed to oxygen or whatever for a bit it's not going to go bad that quickly.
