Tag: Gallon of milk challenge

The average human stomach can hold only about half a gallon of fluid before triggering a vomit reflex due to stretch receptors. This physiological limitation alone indicates that attempting to consume a whole gallon of milk in one sitting is a risky and unhealthy endeavor, with potential health consequences far beyond just a stomach ache.

According to researchers, the primary reason a person will inevitably vomit during the notorious 'Gallon Challenge' is because the human stomach can typically hold only about a half-gallon of fluid before stretch receptors trigger the vomit reflex. It is therefore physiologically impossible for most individuals to drink an entire gallon of milk quickly without experiencing severe gastrointestinal distress.
