A sports drink probably has sufficient "nutrients" to support most mold and bacteria (it might not support anaerobes). Not that I let my knowledge or former knowledge drive me totally crazy. But since covid, I've more than strictly followed the five (5) second rule. If it hits the floor I toss it - no washing, no rubbing on my t-shirt - out it goes! Yes, I know you don't get covid that way but ....
And I said "former knowledge" up there since it has been many decades and a few newer careers since those days.
