Tag: Milk chugging

According to research from Wikipedia, the average human stomach can only hold about half a gallon (1.9 L) at a time. So, what happens if you drink a gallon of milk at one time? The result is not a feat of strength, but a guaranteed cascade of severe digestive distress and potential health risks due to the sheer volume and complex components of milk.

Despite the persistent internet myth that drinking a gallon of milk in one hour is impossible, numerous accounts and videos prove otherwise, though not without severe consequences. The primary obstacle isn't a magical limit, but rather the human body's physical constraints and digestive processes. This viral stunt, also known as the 'gallon challenge,' has a surprisingly long and storied history, evolving from a bullpen pastime to a sensational online spectacle.

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.
