“If someone says they didn’t touch it, the drink is automatically safe.”

Myth
A drink being out of sight matters. Even if someone says they watched it, you cannot confirm it is safe by how it looks or by tasting it. If you left a drink unattended, stop drinking it and get a fresh replacement from a source you choose.
Your next step
Stop and replace the drink right now with a fresh one.
Words you can use
“No thanks. I’m getting a fresh one.”
