I bet one of my students the cost of the milk and an 'A' on his next test he couldn't do it in 20 minutes. He lost. Made it about three quarts through and chundered. Best money I never spent! (He also failed the next test.)
I KNOW i cant drink that in beer in an hour.... what is it with the milk? Curious minds want to know.....
The primary reason it is not possible to drink a gallon of milk in an hour is related to stomach capacity. The capacity of the stomach is about 1 liter (Wardlaw and Insel. Pespectives in Nutrition, third edition, 1996). When stomach capacity is exceeded (whether by milk or any other food), the natural response will be vomiting. The stomach empties into the small intestine at a rate of about 1-3 milliliters per minute. When you figure how long it would take to clear a gallon of fluid from the stomach, it would take almost a day for it to enter the small intestine. The best solution to this is to consume milk along with other foods spread out throughout the day. -Elizabeth Kunkel, Faculty, Food Science and Human Nutrition, Clemson University
