The problem with this bet is not the sheer volume of liquid, as the human body is capable of distending to insane proportions. Just think of the Hot dog guy, or I'm sure any of you in college knows about edward scissorhands (for those that don't know, a bunch of friends get together and duct tape 40oz bottles of beer to each hand. Have to drink both before you can cut the tape....it makes for some interesting attempts at peeing)

Like Ixion said, the problem is with the composition of milk, I'm thinking it's the lactose, or the fat content. Not exactly sure.

My advice? Be near a toilet.

Soy milk (Silk brand is the tastiest, IMO), has made for some very tasty milkshakes.

Hrm, I can down most/all of a two liter bottle of water in 15-30 seconds on an empty stomach (it's made me throw up before though sad.gif ), but milk... whatever is in milk makes for a bad chugging experience.

Here's another stupid thing you can do, but do it to your friends. Get a large spoonful of ground cinnamon, and see who can eat it the fastest. The results are comical if you're watching, and horrible if you're eating. Basically, it all clumps up, and you can't swallow it. You'll be splitting out (and blowing out, if you're unlucky enough to have some of it travel up to your nasal passages) cinnamon for hours.

Another good one is like 4-5 saltines in a minute. It sounds really easy, but try it. I think it's 4-5. The hard part is they're so salty and dry that you physically can't swallow.

EDIT: Oh yeah, can't drink any liquids.

Richter that's awful! laugh.gif

Reminded me of the time when I was 16 and my brother (who's like 15 years older than I am) dared me to do a shot of whisky. He poured it and I tried, and somehow, the entire shot-glass full of whisky went up instead of down and so I had whisky coming out of my nose. My mom and dad laughed so hard at me, and all I could do was choke and gag and try not to cry.

It HURT! Course, my sinuses were clearer than they ever had been before or since for about a week after that! laugh.gif

I can do shots just fine now, but I still don't like whisky or really the taste of any alcohol. I like fruity mixed drinks. biggrin.gif

So, I've been offered 2:1 odds on the "milk bet."

Bet info:
Drink a gallon of 2% or higher milk in one hour. Then, hold down the milk for another hour. Do that, you win. Can't finish the milk or can't hold it down for the hour, you lose. The price is yet to be determined, so far we've discussed $100 as the bet.

Background:
The human stomach's capacity is about 2 liters. Milk is processed into the small intestine at the rate of 1-3 milliliters a minute. One gallon >> 2 liters (dimentional analysis is your friend, 1 Liter = 1.057 quarts and yes I'm a silly goose who has that memorized)

Discuss, flame me for being stupid, etc!


Very possible. Look at the dude who did 54 hot dogs + buns in 12 minutes.

I hope that you come back alive Ixion. Where would we be without you?!?!?! Who could we blame for the war, huh? *cough* I don't actually mean that y'know. Good luck, hope ya win you ninny. Can't believe you actually would do something this silly but then...my brother would probably do the same.
Diamondais2006-10-04 19:53:24
Uh..good luck to ya Ixion.


Milk isnt something I can drink more than half a cup of. So, if you do it..just wow. mellow.gif

Wow I just did that last weekend. Then I died the next day.

I guess your best chance at trying to win the bet is to make your stomach as large as possible so that at least you won't throw up from the amount. I mean, your stomach stretches, but it will be less uncomfortable I guess. As for the actual effects of the milk vs. water or anything else, I don't really know. I don't know if I'd want to drink a gallon of room temp milk, but at least don't have it right out of the fridge.

Anyways from what I've heard from a friend who actually watched his friend do this, I would either a) be in a bathroom or b ) have a trash can handy.

This would be pretty funny to see though xD.

I would seriously go watch it.

And document it.

That was so nasty Vix.
Vix2006-10-05 04:03:59
Same thing's going to happen to Ixion. closedeyes.gif

My body has no trouble with milk. I love it. I've been known to down huge quantities of it over the course of a day. It's tasty and refreshing and so many things can be dipped in it!

I'd have trouble keeping down a whole gallon of anything, but I'm much more milk-capable than most.
Tekora2006-10-05 04:41:36
I could probably down a gallon of milk. I'd need to not eat anything for a day or so beforehand though, and drink it out of a glass, not the jug.
Acrune2006-10-05 04:45:44
Yeah, for some reason it seems like drinking from the jug would be harder then from nice glasses.

Don't do it by actually eating. Japanese "professional eaters" (you know those really skinny japanese guys who beat the crap out of fat guys in eating contests?) train by running miles, to shrink their stomach, then drink gallons of water in one period to stretch their stomach. After doing this often, they can eat so much at a time it's freaky.

Not eating shrinks your stomach and would make it harder.
Aiwendil2006-10-08 16:09:27
I feel tempted to try it now. Too bad I don't have anyone to offer a nice incentive. :/ I'm not going to risk throwing up for free.

Or I might. ninja.gif
